The Punisher Vs. The Partridge Family

 

It will be interesting to see Jon Bernthal return as The Punisher in the upcoming Disney+ Daredevil: Born Again series.  He was great in the role on the Netflix shows, but those were a lot more violent than anything I expect to see on this new family friendly service, even if it is in their "adult" section.  Let's hope he isn't watered down too much.

  1. That's so wrong and yet somehow it's alright XD

    Looking forward to seeing Mrs. Partridge team up with the Birds of Prey next.

  2. Reminds me of the Archie vs. Punisher crossover they did a few decades back. John Buscema and Stan Goldberg both drew on the same pages.

  3. Well, that's the Earth Prime version of Bugs Bunny...will the Earth Prime Daffy Duck be here soon too? Then Punisher will someday soon,team with.. Earth Prime Elmer Fudd.
    Then, the ultimate showdown...Ruben VS the BLT!

  4. Echo was Marvel's first foray into this more "adult" Disney+ programming, and it's still relatively mild. But I do think that Punisher can be done in a less extreme manner, and still be true in spirit to what was done on Netflix.

    On another track, with the various color-themed groups you have on here, have you considered White? Marvel has White Tiger* and White Wolf, DC has the LSH's White Witch, there's the White Ranger (though I'm not sure the Power Rangers have had that much comic-book coverage), and I'm sure at least a few others.

    *I prefer the female one.

  6. Ross, i hope you didn't pay too much for this cover. I know an artist who would do it for a song.

  7. Y'know, it'd be quite possible to have a cover featuring a music festival, and not even (necessarily) have to hunt down art for all of the participants. The roster could include the Partidge Family, the Monkees, the Archies, Josie and the Pussycats, the Impossibles, Dazzler, and probably many more. (I left KISS, Elvis, and the Beatles off on purpose, figuring they'd be too big for a festival with the others.) Even Sapphire and Argent Anarky (a singer and a band, respectively, from the Champions universe) would fit in. And I'm sure I've only scratched the surface there.

    The point is, there could be a poster of some sort for the festival on the wall, using maybe a couple of "photos" but mostly just band logos, while two unrelated heroes (for some reason I'm thinking Batman and Shadowcat) rush to stop some villain from stealing the festival's proceeds (or perhaps using subliminal messaging as an early step toward world conquest -- especially if it's Pinky and the Brain!).

    Gee Mr B G, Music Meiser from Brave and Bold should be in on the heist. Batman had a hail of a voice when he helped Wonder Woman stop being a pig. She was spell bound. I didn't know you could get so much great talent by busing them around. Is it easier if she's in a family way? They were.
    Yours till Aunt May joins the P. Family

  11. @Horace Feathers: with me, it was an overabundance of HAPPY DAYS (vs. Season 1 of the original A-Team) because of my sister's obsession with Scott Baio.

    @Ross: was the Punisher watered down in his one-shot crossover with Archie? Seriousl, though; why would Frank Castle be after Reuben Kincaid? Is he trying to track down Lorelai "The Siren" Circe? And Reuben was hypno-sonically compelled to be her manager, at one time?*

    *That's the only comic book hypothesis that makes sense to me.

  12. @Tobor: How about Bugs and Daffy vs. the Condiment King?
