I had that as my avatar for a couple months! I love that cover. I'd be interested if they ever adapt the "Roulette" issue. That's my all time favorite comic book issue!
Frank Miller's Daredevil is my favorite comic book run. There's a lot of comics that I've read, and I like them so much that I call them my favorite, but once I get over the hype of loving whatever I'm reading at the time or re-reading the issues, nothing has beaten Miller's work for me! And this series is doing such a great showing how great of a character Matt is! I love that he isn't super popular because Marvel is free to take him in horrible places, which to me, makes him a more compelling hero to persevere through such garbage. I know a lot of people don't like that, but I really love characters that are just dragged through the worst of the worse and maintain their compassion (even if they sacrifice their sanity in the process).
I don't think all superhero movies or tv shows need to be R-Rated by any means, but my favorite heroes are the ones that deal with the really dark stuff. I like when writers test the limits of a character's psyche because it sometimes tests the reader's morality as well. Even though I don't agree with the Punisher at all, his stories made me question whether or not I'd actually want someone like him to exist. I think everyone that witnesses horror has a primal urge to end it, and Punisher works to vent some of those vengeful feelings. I'm on Batman and Daredevil's side in believing there's potential in good in everyone and it's worth saving, but what if they keep doing such horrible things and get away it? Is there a point where it's right to just take them out? Heck, both Batman and Daredevil had to lie about the system working by making the cops look good in order to help justice. Are they hypocrites? Also, not everyone has super hero training or whatever. Really, Punisher's way is the only way that would work if you're going to be a vigilante. I'd be interested in seeing them go deeper into stuff like Capitol Punishment in the future.
