Marvel

THE NO-FUNISHER

It’s hard to find a good spot for The Punisher in the Marvel Universe.  He’s a little too adult for the kids, and unless Garth Ennis is rocking him in the MAX line, most people don’t really pay attention (or cover price) to the poor guy.  He’s good for a laugh or an oh-shit moment here or there, but to keep a monthly series running takes creativity.  But I can remember saying out loud, to those who cared to hear, that ‘Franken-Castle’ (wherein the punisher is sewn together and re-animated) was “The WORST storyline idea I had ever heard”. 

 Oh God.  Oh, I was so, so wrong.

I can’t imagine anyone pitching ‘Punisher In Space’ with a straight face, but apparently it exists. So Dann and I decided to jump aboard the gravy train with some ideas for Mr. Castle in 2013.

EPIC BATTLES

There are two distinct battles going on in regards to ‘Avengers Vs. X-Men’, the first is Marvel’s campaign of insisting that you are either A) an Avenger, or B) an X-Man, the second is the average comic fan’s internal struggle about whether or not to care about AVX in the first place.

The people leading the big two always seem to be about a full year behind what the fans actually want. (See: More titles like Uncanny X-Force, Swamp Thing, Batman, Secret Avengers, and Daredevil). The big crossover events may pad your fiscal quarter, but they cheapen the characters, and weaken the foundation these ‘Houses of Ideas’ are built upon.
So someone call Cap, tell him to circle back and pick up Wolverine, apologize to him, and go back and get on with your lives. Contrary to popular belief, we’ll all get along ok if we just IGNORE the Phoenix Force.

Was it ‘see no mouth, hear no crazy’?  Something like that, I guess.  Well, today sees the final issue of the Bendis/Maleev run of ‘Moon Knight’ a series I was quite fond of, and actually posted about earlier last month.  But lacking the fiscal enormity to purchase 10,000 copies monthly left me with little recourse but to accept the quiet fate of Konshu’s servant.  Konshu?  More like Clown Shoe, am I right?  THAT was it.
