I agree with that. Though the Punisher has always been my favorite, his new 
personality traits are...a little too much. I think they may chalk that up 
to the fact "he died, came back, blah blah blah." I guess the shock value of 
a lot of the stuff is amusing enough, but sometimes its TOO much (issue 11, 
anyone? the Russian?). Still, Frank is hard to beat.
