Frank joins the force and immediately starts killing cops is how I see that going.

Indeed, I kinda go the opposite direction on the topical approach. Punisher should take place in a pulpy genre-y place where it's always 1983. Like Tarantino does with movies, well he's 70s. Tackling current horrific topics, I think that works less than ever for a Punisher comic. Not to say Punisher never did ripped from headlines stuff, but the 80s early 90s writers were so kooky and aloof in tone (I'm sure Mike Baron is on a Raoul Duke cocktail when writing), it feels like a Cannon film anyway. I think as we see, the very existence of Punisher is less and less appealing to a lot of readers. But nobody is out there hating on Golgo 13 or Hitman Agent 47. Go that way I say, and throw in some Elmore Leonard, Tarantino, whatever reference to bring quality to it. Just write interesting enjoyable crime stories with a guy who kills everybody.

hitman does it right by making every target some rich piece of poo poo and punisher has never really been about that sadly

The War of the Realms Punisher tie in series is the best punisher in years.

BiggerBoat posted:TBH, more I think about it, a Punisher run where he joins the police force might actually be interesting. the only really interesting story to be told there is him dealing with corrupt cops, i.e. killing a bunch of them

As much as I hate adverts there is something charming and reassuring when reading old comics and seeing what was being advertised and how. They are such time pieces.

Is Nightcrawler bringing some Hostess fruit pies? Senior Woodchuck posted:Y'all know Frank was a cop, right? I did not, no. When I started pondering it and thinking of some decent story ideas to cull from it, I mentioned that for all I know it'd probably been done. I didn't read the Ultimate line and my memory of the character was him being a war veteran but never a cop. WAs that story line any good?

iirc he basically ends up in jail immediately and then later Nick fury gets him out to be on his secret avengers team and the cop thing isn't brought up again much

They are slightly concerning. Which is topical for this thread!

Like a lot of the house ad artwork, it's repurposed from the second Marvel Swimsuit Issue: It was also recolored for the subscription page, but while the hot dogs are still kind of all one color, it's even more obvious he's bamfing over from where Brian is manning the grill, so that's another sign that they're hot dogs.

I enjoy Dragotta’s art, I will say I was taken aback initially when I read the issue. A person can’t just be surprised by Dragotta, it’s not nice.

Watching a couple live draws and just amazed again. A loss of exceptional talent. This one's time lapsed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGbvhyTZXfs This is a live draw recording from August. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqqQQCB7e20
