Has it been handled well, cuz that's a big turn for DD? Is there a panel where the Punisher is saying "Finally!"?
They seem to be
hinting that Castle's sort of a wild card in all this, and may or may not even be taking Matt's side:
- In this week’s “Shadowland” #3, Daredevil's war on crime is complicated by the arrival of another anti-crime crusader, Frank Castle -- AKA The Punisher. “Frank is a guy who deals with what's right in front of him. He's not interested in the moral politics of what Matt Murdock is doing. The other characters are agonizing about the pros and cons of Matt's new direction, but Frank isn't the kind of character who agonizes about that stuff,” Diggle said. “When he wades in in issue #3, it's not because he's taking sides. It's because he's responding to a very immediate clear and present danger, and he does so in his own inimitable style. It's actually quite fun having a character like Frank Castle around when these other characters are so conflicted about the decisions Matt is making. You can just have Frank step in and say, 'You know what? Just shoot the guy!'”
Speaking of the Punisher, this brings up an interesting point. In a modern Marvel U where Frank Castle is, at worst, an uneasy ally of the "good" guys, Wolverine and Bucky Cap are Avengers
and Tony Stark regularly alternates between idealistic billionaire and sleazy government agent not that different from Norman Osborne, are we really supposed to be believe that "Daredevil starting to kill people" is that hard a pill for Spidey, et al, to swallow?
