Re: The Punisher - Daredevil spin-off ordered to series by Netflix

[(Anonymous)]

Nathan Edmondson wrote the 2014-2015 The Punisher comic series, whereas Greg Rucka covered 2011-2013. And Marvel has always been a large universe with a wide cast of characters with stories interwoven in various ways. It would be stranger if Marvel didn't do spin-offs of various popular, long-established characters, and it would be difficult to form future teams and storylines without fleshing out some of the principal characters (and less principal characters - for instance, we met Claire in Daredevil, but she was always more associated with Power Man). Daredevil was probably never intended to run many consecutive seasons in a row without other shows coming up and teams being formed.
