Now, Frank Castle is about to stumble upon it, and hardened men he’s driven there like frightened rats – men who’ve had nothing but time to contemplate their fate and the man responsible for it – are ready for him.

After Ernest Gleckman is mortally wounded, he discovers he must “pay down his new lease on life” by serving as a part time fixer for a death cult. Each time he manifests his dark side as Evil Ernie it becomes harder to maintain his tenuous grip on his inherently good humanity.

Ernest Gleckman is a good kid with exceptional grades in his senior year at college…his only quirk is the rock band he sings in every Saturday night. He enjoys the rock esthetic and “dressing the role” if not acting like a nihilistic punk.

All that is changed when he assumes the role of… Evil Ernie who is the polar opposite of Ernest. Ernie is vicious and cruel and sadistic as he employs all manner of torture or murder (or oft-times both!) against his targets.

Ethan and Vincent are each horrible roommates, though they are unable to give up their apartment in order to escape the other. Ethan’s a slob who likes throwing parties simply to annoy Vincent. Vincent is creepy. Vincent most likely hates Ethan more than he ever could hate Star Fighter.

The letters page was answered by Beavis and Butt-Head or one of their supporting characters. As a comic counterpart to the cartoon’s music-video riffing segments, they reviewed (custom-made) pages from other Marvel Comics. In their review of a Ghost Rider comic, Beavis tries to avoid using the word “fire” to describe the character’s fiery skull.

In the comic, minor characters like Earl, Billy Bob, Clark Cobb, and Mistress Cora Anthrax would get repeated appearances; Earl was quite regular, and Anthrax was in two issues and got to answer a letters page.
