This title is very refreshing. 
Everyone who does not like it - bigots ^.^

Do you think he can turn back into a human?

I was a bit skeptical at first, but the Frankenastle concept's growing on me.

Yeah, it's growing on me, a little.

For some reason the picture on the right reminds me of "Sonic Spinball" for Sega Genesis...

Fine by me I have been loving FrankenCastle and besides if I want classic Punisher action then I read MAX

Nice to see that "FrankenCastle is growing on you Gman

I'm still waiting for my Dark Reign Punisher books to get here from eBay.  :(
 
I'm not thrilled about the Franken Castle idea because it seems a little out there, and the Punisher is one of those characters who is usually grounded in a sense of reality.  Some of the art does look cool though, so I'll wait to judge though.

I've never been a fan of the punisher, but maybe I'll check out this Frankencastle guy. Other than physically is he that different of a character?

The FrankenCastle reminds me of the Marvel Knights story where he became an 'angel'.  It's the undead supernatural element.    I just wish that someone would stop changing the main picture on his page to this:
 
         
 
He's the FrankenCastle now: Deal with it!

I still want a Franken-Castle toy

Im a long time hardcore Punisher fan, and ive got to say i like FrankenCastle.
the biggest thing i like is i dont feel im being jerked around, rather that theyve
taken the brass to actually have Punisher play out, like the fact of his inevitable
destruction in a world of super powered characters, one of the only complaints that
has existed with Frank over the years otherwise. also i dont feel the actual character
has been lost, he's just in different packaging. the mentality is still there, his drives
are still intact, and he most definatly is still fond of killing bad guys in the most creative
and nasty ways available to him. as well, even though the current Frank issues where good,
theyre were coming to a point where something either needed to give or the whole thing would
become redundant. add to the fact im a big monsters fan, especially anything by Wrightston and
Brereton (and Mort Todd of course, but he's not relevant here) and i feel treated by this. but the bottom
ling is good writing on this and story structure. when everything went down with the young Moloid, i really
felt that. i felt a renewed justification in Franks cause, and wanted him to pwn the haters responsible.
this decent writing was the thing i felt originally might be lost in favor of something hokey, and i think
the real reason alot of old style Punisher hardcores never gave it a chance (alot ive argued with on this
told me they read Frankencastle, yet proved the didnt, so i stand by that). I'm glad they arent just going
to shove this off, and theyre going to play it out and take the challenge to be creative about it. one of the
worst things as a comic reader is to have something drastic happen, then have it end as if it didnt happen
(aka: Wizard Of Oz, just a dream Dorothy). thats insulting to me. also cool that for those who wouldnt agree to this, they kept his MAX book intact, which may just be a better place for him anyways because his stories can go as far into the mature rating as they actually need to.
 
@xerox-kitty:
agreed. i keep seeing that as well, though it may be bias on my end since i hold both the 
character bio main pictures and image gallery contents to high standards.

could not have been less interested in the Punisher until he became Frankencastle. Keep the change.

Wow, that's...... interesting. I was seriously expecting Frank to go back to normal at the end of this arc.

Like i said B4...
 
Pun's Fans Loved him cuz he was jus some guy who shoots people... whats his Gimmick? He Punishes People... it was enough to have a Huge Cult Following... 
 
Too Bad Tho thats a Dime a Dozen type of Character... theres a bunch... Uddles and Uddles of characters that have no powers... but they shoot people... that they deem EVIL... so no theres no uniqueness in him... iMO.... This FrankenCastle is a Very Unique Gimmick... a Monster... That Punishes... Doode common... Now thats SPecial... thats all i gotta say
 
and Im personally glad

Questions. Will he keep protecting monsters? if so this opens the door for another marvel killer vigilante to step in.
 Frank keeps the mob in check, they will surely grow back

 I like the concept of this, that is a Frank Castle that gets an upgrade in powers and abilities.  It’s about time the Punisher got some better toys to take on more powerful super-villains.  The punisher is perfect for the half-man-half-machine, living weapon , cyborg killing monster.

I just hate the look of Frankencastle - it’s too much like some Saturday morning cartoon from twenty years ago.  Why not go in the direction of a cool looking cyborg like Cable, Deathlok, Overtkill, Cyborg-Superman, etc.

He just looks… goofy!
