Punisher 100% More interesting now he is Undead Robot

They say that whenever a writer adds robots, zombies, pirates or ninjas into a story; it's a sure-fire sign of creative bankruptancy. However, when you are dealing with a character who is already absolutely the most pitiable wreck of disinterest - like The Punisher - that surely justifies any attempt whatsoever to make something of note happen. Writer Rick Remender was given the thankless job of trying to make Frank Castle interesting, and has so far managed to do just that. First he had Castle get chopped up into pieces by feral man-boy Daken (the "Dark Wolverine") and then he resurrected Punisher as a botched-surgery Frankenstein's Monster of a character. Now known as "Frankencastle", the Punisher has decided to hunt down monsters and blow them up, all under the artistic quill of Tony Moore. It's been great. And now, after shooting a few million undead nazis, Frankencastle is gunning after a rematch with another monster...

A crossover with Marjorie Liu's excellent 'Dark Wolverine' series, in which each book will contribute two of four chapters. Although this makes Dark Wolverine officially 'the new X-Factor' in terms of wading from one crossover to the next, we're confident that this will be great. Hopefully Frank Castle will remain an inhuman monster forevermore, because in this incarnation he's not shit anymore. Drawn by Tony Moore and an as-yet-unrevealed second artist, the crossover seems set to start in July.
