Love the film. Haven't read many of the comic books, but the film was ace.

Agreed that the Punisher is ace, a real nitty-gritty down n' dirty, old school 'let's do it for real' kinda attitude. I think the film stayed quite loyal to the books, apart from the mandatory little origin changes, because Im sur Frank had a daughter and not a son (Meh, Im not a huge Punisher Buff though). If anyone wants to really know how much of a badass Frank Castle is, look up Punisher 'The End' on t'internet. Its set like ten or so years in the future, and Castle basically tries to clean up the scum for one last time. Tom Jane's supposed to be getting in shape for The Punisher 2 now...eep. Also, the PS2 game was my favourite game of last year. It just kicked ass.
-Plus, Kevin Nash is just funny in the film. Great fight scene!

OK I'm getting involved now, perhaps a bit too late in the day but here goes.
You must all read Bone by Jeff Smith. Best.Story.Ever. You like adventure? Good cos it's there. You like comedy? Good cos it's there. You like romance? Good cos it's there. You like an annual competition where the Grandma challanges all the cows in a village to a race and calls it 'The Big Cow Race'? Good cos it's there.
Also read Sleeper. Astonishing X-Men. Preacher. Planetary and others. If this thread is still alive I will post more but I'll be buggered if I'm wasting 10 minutes of my life and no one will read it.

Bone is ace, read that in my English Literature class when we did a small section on graphic novels.
Also read Preacher in my local library, can't resist an invincible cowboy guy with a shotgun. Although some of the things in it are disturbing, like the crazy guy who has sex with a giant woman made out of sausages.

Superman V Aliens is ace. Never read the Batman vs Predator. Nor GL Vs Aliens.
