Where is The Punisher?

[InfamousBG]

Yeah, Rucka's Punisher WarZone is still an all-time favorite (IMHO):

I love Rucka.

One can only hope. I'm waaaaay past the suspension of disbelief of the odds of a character surviving what he does and not being killed and staying dead. Not to mention, that I never liked what he stood for.

I think his story should have been finite and not this perpetually ongoing thing. In the RW he would have either died in a shoot out with the police or been sent to prison for life.

I think Marvel should retire him for a while because of how some of the QAnon types have embraced him. Just the other day I saw a bumper sticker of the Punisher logo with Trump hair

Just awful. Frank would hate these people using his logo the way they do.

I'm surprised Marvel doesn't sue them but I guess that might give them too much attention. So I guess ignoring them is better.

Trump is such a wimp I don't see where they think he is this physically powerful guy.

If I was running Marvel I would come up with a great set of stories with Frank fighting these right wing nut jobs. See what they think of Frank then.

Also, as I recall, Frank recently appeared in Scream: Curse of Carnage. He was hunting down a corrupt, pedo businessman, who had connections to Fisk.

Wow I had no idea Jon B did that. Kind of sucks...actually it really sucks. Lost some respect for him now.

Exactly. Lawsuits would actually increase the usage of the Punisher logo.

I don't think they read the comics. And like above, if mainstream news picks up on the story of these comics being written, then the use of the Punisher logo would just go up.

It's best to just starve this thing of attention.

I have a original Punisher logo sticker on my car. Had it there for years. I really hope others don't look at me when I am driving or parked as I look at all the @$$holes out there.

You'll be fine. The average person isn't hyperpolitical and even aware of this stuff. (That's why I advocate not bringing any more attention to it). You did remind me though re: lawsuits that if a policeman bought an approved Punisher sticker that Marvel sells and put it on his police car, that's not something Marvel can sue for. They can only sue if it's illegal merch.

Both of his appearances in THE MARVELS so far have taken place in the present day.

Now that's another reason to buy it. Tradewaiting, though

I still have a thin hope for an ongoing series written by Christopher Priest, which, like his Deathstroke series, can take on the issue of Frank Castle's ethics, and how it can affect people close to him, as well as the somewhat-realer-world law enforcement reaction would be to him. Of course, in Frank's case, Microchip is deceased (that era where he turned on Frank, got skinny, and... sheesh..). There's nobody else in Punisher's case like children. Still, I'm sure Priest could invent an angle that would bring Castle in somewhat closer proximity to some folks on a recurring basis.

OMG! Priest on Punisher would indeed be an experience. Enjoyed Frank's appearance during the Priest run on Ka-Zar (1997):

I'm confused. Did Jon Bernthal post the picture as a way to show support to the police unit? Wasn't he among the people who criticized the misuse of the Punisher symbol earlier this year?

Bwahaha. The world is so weird...
