If I were to make films,it would start with Punisher Born, and then Welcome Back Frank, filmed frame by frame.
However, from the point where we are, I think a better shot may be a animated series. I know "cartoon", but think about it. Steve Dillon type drawings, it is simplistic enough for animation. I'd like to see "Welcome Back Frank" animated, on the style of Spawn and Gotham Knights. A live action TV show, for HBO, could be to expensive, and might not grab enough attention. If you polled Punisher fans and got the best stories, animate them in order from that list. There would be enough for 3 good seasons at least. An animated series or movie is very possible, if they do it like Spawn (great show) which aired on HBO back in the 90's. No one wants to see the Punisher torned down again like he was when he appeared back in the 90's Spider-Man cartoon.
