“There were a couple of stories that used the â€œkill Kitty to shock Wolverine back to his sensesâ€ plot point.”

Ironically, that was used in a “What if the X-men (non-Vampire versions) lost Inferno?” story…

It’s the first I ever hear about Dr. Strange/Punisher, but two months ago I created this image in Marvel’s Hero Machine:

The first one bummed me out as a kid, but the second one is one of those comics I read so much that it practically fell apart. It is pretty much Marvel Zombies too early, now that I think of it. And Frank Castle with cloak of levitation is pretty damn rad.

I remember so being in love with this comic when I was younger. Frank Castle: Vampire Hunter was possibly my favorite character…and I dig him with the Doctor Strange cloak.

With the popularity of Marvel Zombies, I am surprised this universe has not been revisited!

Dude!!! Great idea… Marvel Zombies vs. X-Vampires. I’d enjoy seeing that.

As evidenced by the cover of the second one, that is the Timequake story arc…

I loved this issue! What If…? was my introduction to a good number of storylines not available to me in the pre-trades days, not to mention my first exposure to Kurt Busiek’s writing. No matter how cheesy or badly drawn, I’ll buy any cheap What If…? back issue I don’t have.

Actually Punisher was killed before he could kill Wolverine in the “original” What If? story. Killing vampire Kitty Pryde was an accident (she phased in as he was attempting to kill Wolverine with a silver knife) and the shock gave Wolverine time to stab him.
I really liked this issue back when it came out.
Never read the second one, but I believe what happened is that the Punisher was killed before he was possessed by Doctor Strange.
Also, vampire Wolverine was featured in the Timequake story arc: http://www.lofficier.com/whatif.htm
