Punisher clearing up the goons before going against the big boys. The city coming after Punisher. Ah, nothing like a good old war.

[jeff · Rating 4 out of 5]

a lot of call backs for different characters and situations from the max comics (not that i very much like it) but this wasn't on the same level as the first three. this one is definitely the weakest. i still enjoyed the violence and the overall need of the memories micro is sending frank. excited to see how this concludes.

This is definitely an R rated title! Love the action.

[Powerman61 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Incredible action from start to finish.
The artwork definitely enhances the story.
The Punisher gets one step closer to the person who's been pulling his strings.

Frank has something on his mind he needs to get out. Tombstone gets a call. Gory goodness as only Frank can deliver in this Red Band series.

I mean, it is a great comic. Only the Legendary Garth Ennis could compete with this series.

[Simeon Scott · Rating 2 out of 5]

Think I might be done with this series, kinda just feels like a squandered interesting premise that's lead back to the same old Frank slop at this point, pretty disappointed tbh.

Tremendamente Punisher de principio a fin, con un frank sobredimensionado en físico pero de buen dibujo. A por el desenlace!
