SIZE=3]Oh my Goodness! This was hilarious! Being Aggressor Brad, I knew who The Punisher was but I didn't know much about Painkiller Jane. This comic didn't enlighten me much but it did make me really want to know more.Painkiller Jane sees the Punisher taking out some mobsters and instantly falls in love and follows him home. We see Jane break into Frank Castle's latest hideout put on his shirt and indulge in her fantasy. The Punisher and Painkiller Jane on a date, shooting talkers in the movie, Frank and Jane getting married shooting the priest, the couple happily married with kids (The idea of two kiddie Punishers and mini Painkiller Jane shooting up the house, still brings a grin to my face).
The fantasy is interupted by Frank's return. Jane tells Castle she loves him, Frank responds by telling her that she needs psychiatric help. You know that you have mental issue when The Punisher tells you to seek mental help!
Jane stalks Frank during his hunting down the Veronica Mob Family, thinking that he is playing hard to get. The Punisher sends her to Alaska to get her out of his hair but she returns just in time to save The Punisher from a trap set by the Veronicas (not the Aussie singing duo but the mobsters).
It was a lot of fun to see The Punisher through Jane's warped view, well worth getting.

I was never a real fan of the Painkiller Jane comic. I did watch the Sci Fi channel movie. It was dull. I don't think the proposed series ever materialized.

I was intrigued enough by this comic to grab a couple of Painkiller Jane comics and I didn't mind them but at the moment I have more pressing uses for my cash. I wouldn't mind seeing the movie.
With her bandages Painkiller Jane would be an interesting pairing with Darkman and since both are currently published by Dynamite entertainment it's not totally impossible.

Just saw on Newasarama that the Sci Fi Channel is picking up 22 episodes of Painkiller Jane after all.

Brad, I've picked this up and incorporated The Punisher into the WNU/CU.
Best,
