but then again where's the fun in that?

if you gave me a comic with the following cover: (hello, Papa John Romita?)


and knowing what we know about Dark Reign, the ascension of Norman Osborn, and the raison d'etre of the Punisher ...

we should expect that, by the end of this book (which they conveniently numbered as a starter issue), Frank Castle should blow this .90 caliber pezzonovante away.

right?

let me quote as you can barely read the text below:
"some enemies you charge head on ... others you shoot through the head with a high powered Skrull sniper rifle from four miles away."


so, at this point, i stopped ... and posted this on the blog.


do we get a payoff?


do we?
