Great news for all the fans of the character! Garth Ennis will be back to write the Punisher next year for a new mini-series.

Check the interview on mark 9:16

Rather see him write a punisher solo ongoing book with steve dillon or maybe alex maleev

I would like to see Parlov or Fernandez.

Damn it, I was going to make this thread.

Welcome Back, Garth.

BB

Hopefully it's more Welcome Back, Frank than MAX.

Pretty cool.

Someone get him off of Thunderbolts

YESH! Ennis' is still my favorite take on the character.

You're not a fan of MAX? I haven't given Welcome Back Frank a read, though.

@daredevil21134: yes and give the character his ongoing book.

Actually on paper the Thunderbolts are a great cast, it just poor writing. I'd to see what Garth could do with that team. Unfortunately, the Punisher doesn't sell enough anymore, to carry an ongoing solo title.

How well was he selling under Garth Ennis?

Well Im pretty happy. Over and out

@daredevil21134

I don't know. But it's obvious, that Marvel doesn't want the Punisher, as a full time title. It's a real shame too, he used to carry three monthly ongoings. But that was in the "Dark Age", when the Punisher was one of Marvel's Big Four. Garth Ennis is one of my favorite writers. He's perfect for the Punisher. As for the Thunderbolts, i'd hate to see such a great lineup go down due to poor writing. Punisher, Deadpool, Venom, and Electra; none of which are heroes. They are ruthless vigilante anti-heroes, they all have that in common. The title just needs good writing. I've always felt that Marvel never treated, their darker character the right way. I know they had MAX, but isn't that outside the 616 universe? Characters like the Punisher, Deadpool, Blade, Hellstorm, Ghost Rider, and Venom; have great potential, if they were written right.

A-MEN BROTHER!!.I think they all have great potential especially Blade

Oh LOL!

If it is MAX, it needs to be Slavers/Born Again-tier.

just a mini =(. I want another ongoing, the last one was great

Around 30k at lowest but it was pretty high at times.

BB

Isn't that considered good?How much was he selling under Jason Aaron?

If it was selling at 30k, that is considered good. Too good to be cancelled. When a title gets down below 22k, it faces possible cancellation. Was there a drop off with Jason Aaron?

I don't believe that an issue of the Punisher right now could reach 30k, unfortunately...

But if gets between 25k~30k it would be ok, to handle itself.

Punisher MAX 22 (last book) from Aaron, reached 17.738k. The previous books were around this number too.

You realise that Tunderbolts is under a new writer and artist now?

@jonny_anonymous: Yup, but as long as he's making the Punisher bang Elektra I won't be digging it

it's been almost a year where is the comic?

@shadowpro: No news about this, unfortunately.

@bionder: garth lied to us!!!!

I don't like Ennis' Punisher. It's filled with poor attempts at satirical comedy and over-the-top gore filled violence at the sacrifice of Frank's character.

@shadowpro: I wouldn't say "lie" because there are schedules and sometimes he doesn't depend on the writer... We will have this so called miniseries.

@keenko: I didn't find the humor to be satirical, just black. It's interesting that you think his character suffered in that series; I think Ennis is one of few writers who gave him depth.

Garth Ennis should come back to write more Punisher stories.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure whatever he was working on has been abandoned. Oh well.

Marvel didn't called it "off" because Parlov already posted some images of the comic. It will be released probably this year.

Punisher MAX, is set in an alternate universe, it doesn't have nothing to do with current Marvel Universe Punisher who is a afghanistan veteran.
