I'm disappointed you don't simply read the entire thread.

Why would I ever, ever want to do that?

So that you wouldn't say things that've already been said.

Buncha whores! All of you!!!

I read Welcome Home Frank.
Pure awesome.
Garth Ennis should have had writing credits for the Punisher movie. They lifted the entire story from that one arc.

Oh, and killing the Russian by dropping a fat guy on it for half an hour? Pure awesome Ennis.

Yeah, about that...

Welcome back, Frank is one of the most funny storylines I've ever read. On the one hand I'm sorry Ennis had to let that incarnation of the Punisher go, on the other hand it gave us Punisher MAX, which was equally awesome.

And we still have that 37 issue run of Punisher that followed, too.
Which is next!

Do you see what I mean though about the complete difference of the film against the book where most ideas were lifted from?

Whether you like or hate the Thoms Jane Punisher, it confuses me how they could have made the film they did and it's so much different from the book where they lifted most of the ideas from.

Death by fat guy is hiliarious! Even the really obvious jokes like the fat guy ordering so much pizza and having a steel toilet fitted is funny.

Oh yeah. I really liked the movie. I think it would have worked as a movie if they had moved it to it to NY, and kept police and and crime family, while removing the humor though.

The first arc of his second MK run is...
I don't even know.
Nuts, insane, crazy, and I don't mean that in the cool shit way, I mean certifiably.

I liked it.

What happened in that one again?
I take it you've read past the Wolverine arc? Possibly the funniest take on Wolverine and most improbable take on his healing factor within a main universe book.

I'm also assuming the first arc covered Ma Gnucci, Elitist and the other two would be vigilantes?

The first arc of the second MK run is the return of The Russian, with some sort of general on an island with an army of mercenaries and the like.

The second storyline featuring the return of the Russian is one of my favorites from the entire series. Everyone talks about using other another person as a human shield but seeing Castle actually use Spider-man as a human shield was balls to the walls funny.

The 12 issue Vol 5 welcome home Frank, that the movie was based on included Ma and the 3 Vigilantes.

JI just started Vol 6, the 37 issue run with the first arc with the Russian. Apparently the next 6 issues are not Ennis. Fuckers.

I have read that Wolvie arc years ago though, barely remember it.
