>Writer/editor Mark Gruenwald originally created the Scourge in 1985 as a plot device intended to thin the criminal population of the Marvel Universe, in particular eliminating those supervillain characters he deemed to be too minor, redundant, or ill-conceived.

Kickstarter isn't a publisher, so no

A lot of creators wanting to do more creator owned stuff need a boost getting the books made, and some of them manage to publish it through an actual publisher later (like Simone getting Leaving Megalopolis out through Dark Horse, and Orlando's Virgil)

Honestly, it's hard to dislike Franken-Castle. On the surface the concept is actually decent: The Punisher teams up with an obscure team of characters, the Legion of Monsters. Yeah the Frankenstein thing is silly, but so is Norman Osbourne being appointed as the director of SHIELD. The former isn't nearly as fucked-retarded. And hell, the writing is solid, so there's no problem.

I have yet to meet a person who actually dislikes this particular Punisher run. I kinda wish this would have been his new Status Quo for a bit longer. It's nice seeing Frank fight for to protect people.

I love that we don't even get a half-assed explanation of why frank has a god-damn dragon, it's just assumed that it works out that way. So when Frank says he's going alone, that doesn't include the dragon amongst the monster society?

I love how frank has a half-smile right there, like proof that he fully believes in his cause and somewhat enjoys what he does. Sure he's plenty grim and kill-y but dammit sometimes ya gotta love what ya do, chief

Maybe he just ran into the dragon on the way..

>the Scourge


When I first started reading comics about a year and a half/2 years ago, I remember seeing him show up every so often and killing some random fuck, mostly in one of those "mini" comics at the end of an issue. Sometimes you wouldnt even see him, just a bullet flying from the fucking skyline into the sky and killing some asshole U.S. Agent was flying off someplace on those scooters. It was so bizarre. I recognized a lot of the villains who were revived in this run, but I never can across the comics where the Scourge showed himself formally.


May be part of the reason why I liked this whole Punisher volume, between that, the blood stone, and some of the monsters, I felt like I had enough prior knowledge to fully enjoy it.

Or in other words "I understood that reference"

Well, despite being killed in the 80s, they were revived just for this volume.

Along with Frank's family, which he intentionally burned alive like a fucking dumb cunt.
