Frank Castle hooking up with the lady friend :p

Since people were asking about it (and I did mean to post when I read it and then forgot about):

And that was that!

	I like her competence! (But you might want to change the title from "hooked with" to "hooked up with" - I boggled at the original!) (Reply to this)

	Well, this is Rucka, so awesome, competent women are like, the norm, but that doesn't make this any less great. So glad I've just put the first volume of this on order. (Reply to this)

She's basically a female version of him. Lost her entire family in a matter of seconds thanks to a bunch of lowlife scum. Frank's backstory is arguably worse, since his family's death was even more senseless: they were just part of the CROSSFIRE between a bunch of gangsters.

The idealist in me hopes that they can help each other move past revenge and avoid the whole "he who fights monsters" thing. OTOH, Frank wouldn't really be the Punisher anymore if that happened.

Oh, most of English is really rather simple - a few irregularities here and there but nothing unusual, and of course spelling that is only vaguely related to pronunciation which is a bit tough although which I don't find unusual for the PoV of my own native language - but particles especially how they related to verbs, yeah those are really treacherous little bugger that will trip you down when you're not looking so they can point and laugh at you when you sprawled down the floor.

Haha, in all fairness though, English spelling is a whole entity of its own in terms of how often it changed in the UK alone, and this was way before post-Revolutionary War Americans decided they wanted an "English spelling" of their own by taking out a few extra vowels and consonants, among other things. Now French on the other hand...that's definitely one language where I struggle tremendously to pronounce, even when I try reading it. @_@

	As a French teacher, I have to say... the pronunciation and spelling are a little more consistent than they are in English. English is just freaking ridiculous - laughter vs slaughter, for example. That said, French is still pretty high up there on the "how the hell do I spell/pronounce that?" scale. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	To clarify: Frank's just been jumped by a hit squad after one of the syndicate agents has deployed an old SHIELD gadget that inhibits combustion within the area. The powder inside bullets can't ignite, so guns just misfire. Cole isn't affected by it because she's across the street in a different building. (Reply to this)

The thing about English spelling is that it literally borrows elements from various languages including Germanic and Romance languages (a testament to the various countries that invaded Britain back in the day). French spelling in relation to pronunciation isn't too radical...it's actually pretty straight forward once you learn the rules. In my case, pronunciation isn't too complacated, but I always trump it on the French 'r'; the more r's there are in a word, the harder it is for me to pronounce. The French word for laugh (rire) particularly comes to mind. :<

	Rucka's Strong Women Characters at Marvel don't tend to get fridged. Cassie Linthrop from his Wolverine run just turned up in Jason Aaron's run as a member of a mercenary company working for Seraph. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
