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! 

Cover Art and Release Date for Iron Man: Rise of the Technovore

Iron Man is coming at us full force this year with Iron Man 3 hitting theaters on May 3rd. Although first we will get a direct-to-video feature film starring Iron Man called Iron Man: The Rise of Technovore on April 16th. Thats quite a lot of Iron Man this spring. 

Here is the full official synopsis: Billionaire Tony Stark, in his Iron Man armor, prevents an attack from a mysterious new foe, but innocent bystanders are killed, including his best friend War Machine, Lt. Colonel James Rhodes.  Detained for questioning by S.H.I.E.L.D., Iron Man escapes, determined to find the mastermind behind the attack. Pursued by Black Widow and Hawkeye, Iron Man enlists the help of the ruthless vigilante The Punisher.  But can the Armored Avenger handle what he finds when he catches the person responsible and is forced to face his deadliest weapon, a biotechnology called Technovore that could wipe out all life on the planet?

Is it just me or did that pretty much give us the entire plot to the film….. anyways sounds pretty cool. Espcaiclly really awesome to bring The Punisher into it because he needs some love now too. 

Iron Man/Tony Stark will be voiced bu Matthew Mercer and The Punisher/Frank Castle by Norman Reedus (sounds like a goodish take on it). 

Iron Man: Rise of the Technovore hits streets on Blu-ray and DVD April 16th 

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
