Punisher MAX #1-11 (Ongoing, Update)

This is the ongoing reboot of the Punisher under Marvel's MAX imprint, with the first two story arcs complete. And since it is under MAX, it is grittier and more hard-edged than the usual. The first story arc, done straight by series writer Jason Aaron, ties Frank Castle's life history to that of Wilson Fisk, aka the Kingpin. The second story line, however, is looser yet so over-the-top violent and action-oriented as to be caricaturish. Here's to hoping the creative team of Aaron and Dillon would arrive at their own unique formula that's best suited to the MAX imprint.

An all-new ongoing series from the acclaimed team of Jason Aaron (WOLVERINE: WEAPON X) and Steve Dillon (PUNISHER: WELCOME BACK FRANK), two guys who were born to tell the exploits of Marvel's most brutal vigilante. Wilson Fisk is a bodyguard for mob boss Don Rigoletto, but he has his eyes on a much bigger prize, and he's gonna use Frank Castle to help him realize his dreams. The biggest story in MAX history begins here, as we witness the birth of the greatest villain the Punisher has ever faced. Explicit Content. By: Jason Aaron, Steve Dillon, Dave Johnson -- “BULLSEYE, CONCLUSION” The final epic confrontation between Frank Castle and Bullseye, as the maniac assassin hits Punisher with everything in hisrsenal, including a dark secret that cuts Frank to his core. Even if Frank survives, he will never again be the same. --
