Franken Castle?

[ElCapitanAmerica]

Anybody read "Punisher: The List"???

WTF?!?!?!?! As if Angel Punisher wasn't bad enough ...

[El Gray]

I haven't read any of the issues, but I read an interview with the writer (Remender) last week that indicated the crazy-ass direction they're going with it. Kinda curious about it, to be honest. They're gonna bring in the Marvel equivalent of the Universal Monsters to hang out with him for a couple of issues, I guess.

I'll give it a look in the store.

Wasnt it established since a few years that Punisher Max is the only Punisher title?

[wadew1]

I think FRANKENCASTLE is going to work about as well as this A+++++ Marvel concept:

SPOILERS:


Apparently, Castle gets gutted by Daken. Someone rebuilds him and Rick Remender collects a check for this turd sandwich.

I wasn't really against Remender at first. I liked his stuff with the Scourge undead villains. But, this is just dumb. Well, dumber than usual.

It was for a long time, and it was also the only MAX book confirmed as being canon (well, and Alias), but then Brubaker had Castle show up in Daredevil after a lot of years of having him be exclusive to his MAX book and since then they've started shoving him back into the normal MU (noticeably during Civil War).

Now he has around three books (the MAX one, and two where he interacts more with the MU), and now this piece of shit.

Awful, really.

[Subotai]

I like Fear Agent, and loved Max Punny, but don't think this is getting added to my pull list.

[El Gray]

I don't believe this is a new series... just a few issues in the main Punisher series. Someone know different?

[Anderson]

It spins out of The Punisher: The List.

It's part of the Marvel U Punisher book that Remender is doing. Supposed to just be a storyarc.

[ElCapitanAmerica]

Just a few issues, although I wonder how they will return Castle to normal. I mean he was pretty cut up.

It sounds like a really stupid idea, but maybe this writer can surprise me.

[wadew1]

I don't know what's more humiliating for Frank:
the frankenberry look or the fact that he was killed by Wolverine's whiny mohawk son w/ lame tribal tats.

But hey, Tony Moore is drawing FRANKEN CASTLE, so that's cool.

[wadew1]

Hang in there, bud!
The best part of this will be how they get him back to normal.

SPOILER BITS

WITH SCIENCE!

Also, getting killed by Wolverine's idiotic, awful character kid? What an humilliating way to go.

[Chap Saxon]

Second only to be raped by wolves with AIDS and then later dying of LAIDS (Lupine Acquired immune deficiency syndrome).

[Van Read]

Read this shit. It's fucking good. Punisher is the only comic I look forward to anymore. Remender is doing a pretty good job balancing the MAX Punisher and MU Punisher. He's got a good thing going. The art in the series is pretty sweet too, it's very reminiscent of Lenil Yu.

[wadew1]

Are you talking about Tan Eng Huat? I think his art is pretty horrible, but he's gone now (I hope). The guy who drew the first five issues was good, though.

[Van Read]

Jerome Opena and Tan Eng Huat's styles are pretty similar, but I think Huat's stuff is the one that really gives me the Lenil Yu vibe.

[wadew1]

I don't really see it.
I guess he's like Yu with a horrific drawing hand injury.

[Chap Saxon]

That looks and reads like shit. "White as a skull" really? I mean REALLY? I really like Strange Girl and what I read of Fear Agent was good but this looks fucking retarded... even for Marvel.

[wadew1]

Here's most of the epic clash between Punisher and DARK Wolverine w/ daddy issues. He destroys Frank physically *and* mentally!

"Hell, look at your MONKEY FACE!"

http://asylums.insanejournal.com/sca...y/1164898.html

And here's my favorite panel. I like the Na'Vi face and the cold cut arm slice.

[Brad Millette]

oh god oh god oh god oh god hahahahaha

Dude who said this was well written YOU ARE A LIAR

[Alex B]

Hang on, that's not Romita Jr on art duties? Whew, I thought for a second there he had suffered a stroke or something, this stuff is so bad.

[wadew1]

That's Romita Jr.
Romita Jr. and Janson! This will be put in his BEST OF Collection when he retires.

Also, I like how Frank's decapitated head is still narrating.

Fucking hell. Working with Millar must have broken his brain.

[Brad Millette]

Alex are you gonna keep gummin OR DO YOU WANNA GET TO THE WORK

[Chap Saxon]

Wolverine's son is faggot.

[Alex B]

I gut this pig myself

[BobClark]

Wolverine's son is also oddly hairless. Does Wolverine no longer have as much body hair as Robin Williams?

[Brad Millette]

look at your monkey face bob

I love that when he says "Look at your monkey face", he himself looks like some kind of fucking Orangu-Man.

[wadew1]

The best thing about DARK Wolverine are those horribly designed claws. They look like those vending machine claws that never pick up the prize.

Grabbed yourself a TIGER BY THE TAIL, old man!

???????

[Brad Millette]

It's a subtle hint for their next big crossover:

EENIE MEENIE MINIE MODOK

[Jake]

God, this shit is awful. Van Read, on a scale of 1 to 10, how drunk were you when you made that "DIS IS GOOD" post?

[Brad Millette]

If the answer isn't "Keith Richards", you've got some explaining to do.

[wadew1]

I give Remender credit for coming up something that the CHECK OUT MY SKULL TATTOO BRAH PUNISHER IS THE MOST HARDCORE CHARACTER EVER fans are guaranteed to hate.

Here comes FrankenCastle and the Monster squad!

[Brad Millette]

Because nothing says "We have no idea why we're doing this" like N'Kantu the Living Mummy!

[ElCapitanAmerica]

The sad thing is somebody probably thought it was cute and clever to call him FRANKen Castle.

[wadew1]

If Frank doesn't take pills every 12 hours, he turns into a grunting, hulk-like retard. If he takes the pills, he says stuff like "Yer dog's been eatin crap. STINKS."
FrankenCastle: 1
Werewolf by night: 0!

[BobClark]

They've turned him into Franken-NickNolte!

So that's a good thing right?

[DanielRoffle]

Is this being written solely so that Chris Sims can pull it out of the archives 10-15 years from now and we can all have a good laugh?

EDIT: Turns out it's his best of the week pick already. Oy vey.

The sad thing is that Franken Castle would most likely have been my favourite superhero EVER! 17 years ago, actually that's a lie, he'd be my second after Cable.

It is nice to see a resurgence of the Marvel Monsters but the only guys that seem to be able to write those characters with any respect are the Marvel Adventures gang (including Peter David).

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW HELL!!

Here's a taste of this bold new era. They don't include the page where frank screams "fhire mann....KHILL YHOU!!!!!!!!!!" at a giant lava monster/preacher.

I can't stop laughing at the cover long enough to scroll down.

Aww, sad little Fin Fang Foom.

[Van Read]

I read Sim's take on it and I hafta agree. it's fun shit and I'm curious as to where it goes from here, and how Frank will "return to normal".
