    I am.

    But i'm more an avid "Garth Ennis" fan. I'll ready any of his stuff.

    Yeah I heard about the Civil War delay and that was only through looking at the Punisher website.

    Oh yeah, Punisher MAX is hands down best comic out there at the moment.

    I stopped reading the superficial world of the X Men and company a few years back, though I DO think the Ultimate series is prolly better than the current 616 universe.

    The Ultimate line is really good. I can't wait for this cross over.

    ULTIMATE POWER #1
    The Fantastic Four’s leader, Reed Richards, has accidentally punched a hole into an adjacent universe in a desperate bid to gain the knowledge he needs to cure his friend Ben Grimm—The Thing. But something has come through the aperture from a realm known as the Supremeverse: The Squadron Supreme! They are angry and here to arrest young Reed for high crimes against their world. You must not miss the crossover of the decade!

    ULTIMATE POWER #2
    The Squadron Supreme has invaded the Ultimate Universe seeking revenge, and Earth strikes back with its biggest guns! It’s the smackdown of the year as the Squadron Supreme go toe-to-toe with the Ultimates, Ultimate Fantastic Four, Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate Spidey himself. And neither world will survive unscathed. You cannot miss it!

    I'd consider reading an Ultimate Punisher series if it came out.

    Does Frank Castle exist in the Ultimate Universe, Carlos?

    The last Ultimate comic I read was Ultimate Fantastic Four where Reed jumped into another reality and the world had been taken over by Zombies but he managed to escape with the help of Magneto. I prolly only got that cause it had Magneto in it (love tragic tormented characters) and it was suprisingly very good, amazing art work too.

    Punisher appeared twice in Ultimate Spiderman. Punisher is nuttier in the ultimate line. Pick up the Ultimate Spiderman annual because it hints at Punisher being in a series.

    Ultimate Punisher is even nuttier?

    Regular Punisher is pretty hardcore, I mean he's blown up a cruise ship full of people in shark infested waters, handcuffed a Moldovan warlord to a chair and then torched him alive to send back as a "message" to Eastern European gangsters and even purposefully turned himself in once JUST so he could get to the original Italian mobsters that were responsible for killing his family.

    I might have to get these Spiderman issues, just to see what the differences are.

    As you can tell, Punisher is easily my favourite Marvel character. I like him cause he is JUST a normal guy. No super powers, no gadgets, just years and years of intensive army training. Also cause he's one of the few marvel "heroes" that will go over the line for the greater good and is tragically flawed. Damaged goods.

    Who's your favourite character Carlos, and why? Anyone else got a favourite for that matter?

    My 6 year old nephew keeps me up to date on the adventures of Spider Man. This kid has got more Spidey stuff than he knows what to do with! I guess there's a whole mythology surrounding the characters now. I thought I was bad being a big Tolkien geek.

    Characters like Superman and Wolverine completely and utterly suck.

    Neither of em can simply ever be beat or killed. What's interesting about a character like that?

    I spend about $40-$50 on comics a week. I read so many I really don't have one favorite above the rest. Story lines kinda ebb and flow so it depends on current story lines which one I'm looking forward to reading.
