ok, so i'm in Barns & Noble 2day, right? and i'm in the graphic novel section, and i come across Marvel "Mangaverse" volume 1. now, the basic premise of mangaverse is these Marvel artists draw these stories of popular marvel characters, only done in a japanese anime style. anyway, i'm skimming the pages, and i come across The Punisher. the VERY 1st page of the Punisher story, the Punisher (who's characterized as a woman dressed as a gothic-looking geisha w/ her face painted like a skull) is "punishing" this buisness guy (who looks STRONGLY like a woman in this scene). the guy's half-naked and hog-tied on a table, while the Punisher stands there feathering his bare feet. a silly torture in a serious-looking setting. i'll have 2 remember that 4 when i draw my own manga series. what makes it even sillier is that the writers cleverly named the ticklee "Kusugutai", which is japanese 4 "ticklish". i just wish it HAD been a woman like i thought at 1st.
