The reason I bring these up is that I liked how the connective tissue of the other movies was there, but they didn't bash us over the head with it (as some might argue they did with Iron Man 2.)"

count me among those who thought Iron Man 2 was an extended trailer for the Avengers movie.

can't wait for this one though.  Thor is one of my favorites and I've been more eager for this flick than the rest of the movie line-up, superpowered or not.  I'll post more of what I think after the show.

April 19, 2011 7:52 am I think this story actually IS adding more to the substance of the Punisher beyond the Ennis run.  primarily, it looks like we're about to discover that Frank was going to leave his family, and telling them so right before they were murdered by the mob (which is just me speculating, of course. we still don't know what Bullseye whispered to him in #11).  but that would mean that the Punisher has been avenging the death of a family he was about to abandon anyway for however many years it has been.  there are so many layers and so much complexity to what that would mean to Frank Castle as a character.  I just hopped back on reading Punisher recently after running screaming in the other direction from the "Frankencastle" nonsense.  I'm glad Marvel is using their MAX publisher to get back to telling some raw, more Punisher-esque fare.  #12 did not disappoint.
