Garth Ennis In "Early Stages" Of A Brand New 'Punisher' Mini-Series!

The Punisher is what got me into comics in the first place. The 2004 film with Thomas Jane drew me down to the local comic shop to get some issues. Fortunately Garth Ennis was doing the Punisher MAX series that was sooo amazing at the time, I literally have every issue. Great violent gritty real world series. Especially for a 13 year old right!? My parents were very protective of me. They were strict enough to let me go to sleep every night when I was 5 watching The Terminator 2. I know very protective but hey what can you do?

In a recent interview with comiXologist podcast, he stated "I will be starting work on another 'Punisher' miniseries quite soon, that'll probably come out sometime next year," Ennis said on the podcast. "That's at the very early stages."

I love that news so much! My favorite Punisher writer coming back to visit a character he added so much to and has been away from so much. 

Are you excited as I am? I know you are! 

The Punisher is Coming to The Small Screen?!

So apparently FOX has ordered a pilot for The Punisher. I'm just as shocked as you. I am the biggest Punisher fan I've ever met, being I have every comic featuring him and all the movies (which I love). Seriously, why have a tv show on broadcast television no less give us at least Showtime.

FOX has tapped Criminal Minds showrunner Edward Bernero to adapt the character to a tv show. The format is actually pretty similar to another marvel character. The show will be an hour-long police procedural featuring Frank Castle (The Punisher) as "a rising star detective with the New York Police Department" and when he goes home for the night, he is The Punisher fixing the filth in the city he can't do legally. Sounds kind of familiar. Just change the setting from detective to lawyer and BAM you got Daredevil or stick with cop and you maybe get Dexter.

Marvel is just milking the characters they own with having multiple shows in-production featuring The Hulk, Cloak and Dagger, Powers, and AKA Jessica Jones. I'm loosing faith in you Marvel.

No news when show will premiere just gotta wait and see
