This list seems a bit biased to me. I guess ramped up violence trumps all in terms of Punisher stories. C'mon isn't your statement a bit biased since I'm guessing you never read any of them and you are on record for not liking the Punisher concept.Are you expecting stories about The Punisher caring and feeding his pet bunnies? |

I like the Punisher, I'm just not a huge fan of Ennis. I'm on record for not liking the Punisher you say? There's a record?

I have to confess that I'm biased against Ennis because of an altercation I had with him, or someone that looked an awful lot like him, at a Holiday Inn I was staying at back when I traveled for work. So I go down for the Continental Breakfast, as is my wont when so graced with being booked at "The Inn" by my oh so generous ex-employers, and there is this obviously drunk Scotsman milling about and mumbling to himself right in front of a piping hot stack of newly placed cinnamon rolls. I walked slowly up to grab a roll (this was before I quit sugar for stevia mind you) and he starts cursing in a thick Scottish accent, one hand clenched, about not having a sufficient supply of hand towels. I start to snicker a bit and he gives me a look that I'll never forget; it was a poignant mixture of wrath and anguish the likes of which I've never seen before or since. I stopped short in my idle amusement to watch him shamble off, still mumbling, while sloshing about a large orange juice and small plate of unapologetically cindered bacon. I found this meeting far more disturbing than you might suspect. I decided to share this as to put into proper context any future Ennis critiques I might post. Ennis isn't Scottish, he's Irish...so already it could be a case of mistaken identity... When you mentioned altercation, I was expecting a bit more than a fleeting stare from a guy who was probably more pissed about not having some handwipes...  |

He's Irish? Well...there goes my brush with quasi-fame. He must have really emptied out that mini-bar to distort his Irish accent to Scottish.

And the bad guys find out about the bunnies, so they kill them. (They also dismember his My Little Pony figures.) And so Frank, kneeling amid the bloody bodies of the little furballs, cradling the headless form of Rainbow Dash, vows revenge! Revenge! Revenge!

I'm up all-night (even when I'm off like tonight) because I work nights. That is some great artwork. Dr. Strange is one of my favorites and I can't recall those two meeting in the past, though I'm sure they have. I'm sure Strange is crapping eldritch bricks.  |

I just checked, apparently the Original Sin storyline might not be as easy as I thought as there are tie-ins with a fairly broad bunch of other books across the Marvel spectrum (including Guardians of the Galaxy, a series I was never too keen on). I'll be picking up the #0-#8 for sure but I'm wondering just when we'll find out who shot Uatu. |

If it turns out to be the Punisher, I'm storming the Marvel offices. I still have 12,000 frequent flyer miles.

I know as I go about my day-to-day business, I assume anyone I meet with a brogue is Garth Ennis.
