 Well, we still have an inkling for how Punisher will come back But it's time for the last days of Silver Surfer, Black Widow and, shock and horror, Ms Marvel.  She'll definitely be back Somehow… Four issue arcs for four titles… that threaten to end it all. UPDATE: Californian comic store manager Darren Hupke got in touch from ComicsPRO[...]

An occasional series of columns looking at recent examples of comic books which we bet will be amended y the time the are collected in trade paperback or hardcover reprints.

Punisher 2099 was co-created by Pat Mills, one of the men behind the creation of Judge Dredd and the co-creator of Marshal Law When Pat creates superheroes, he has a tendency to create them for satirical purpose and go over the top sowing what a bad idea the character would be in real life And[...]

Expect the character to go through big changes, along the lines of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and Daredevil… And as a result, expect two[...]

We reported a couple of weeks ago that retailers would be receiving, one per store, an edition of an upcoming issue of Daredevil with a Daredevil-branded bottle of the energy drink SK Energy taking over the whole cover.

While I like to think I was smart enough to avoid some trends, like the poly-bagged X-Force #1, which has become a punchline even outside of geek circles, and even scoffed at some of my classmates buying up overpriced Punisher #1s in droves at my first comic convention, I did hop onto the Spawn bandwagon[...]

Until some folk pointed out its similarity to Tim Bradstreet's Punisher image.
