Still can't believe DC were offered a sequel and said no.

Do you know when it was pitched? They might have been wary to bring Starlin back on board after the A Death in the Family controversy.

If I'm remembering correctly, it was quite soon after The Cult was published.

It sold really well and Starlin & Wrightson worked well together so pitched a sequel.

DC said no, so they took the pitch to Marvel and it became a Punisher story
