Reviews

[David Dalton]

Ok, this review is for just Punisher: Red Band #5. Goodreads is always a tad late on these Red Band issues. I love #5 just as much as I did #1 to #4. Plenty of raw unedited violence! This has been a premier version of the Punisher, paving the way for Punisher #1 next month!
