As the Punisher, Castle reinvented himself as the merciless scourge of the underworld. The mere mention of his name causes criminals everywhere to cringe in fear, because they all know the Punisher plays for keeps -- and someday, he may come gunning for them!

After firing the winning shot in the battle to repel a massive alien invasion, the former Green Goblin, Norman Osborn, was able to position himself as the planet's savior, parlaying his newfound popularity into a job heading up the new peacekeeping organization H.A.M.M.E.R. But while some super heroes might be willing to fall in line behind Osborn, the Punisher just ain't one of them. Joining forces with a tech-savvy young partner, Castle sets about taking Osborn down. The Punisher normally favors the bluntest of methods - a bullet to the brain -- but with his target's influence so far-reaching and his corruption so deep-seated, Frank and his new associate must first gather evidence of the former Green Goblin's wrongdoing. And if you expect there to be some gunfire and ultraviolence along the way, well...you won't be disappointed! Collecting PUNISHER #1-5.

Not so long ago, the Punisher attempting to assassinate the Green Goblin would most likely have been met with ambivalence. But Norman Osborn has decided he prefers suits to green masks and the authoritarian law-enforcement agency H.A.M.M.E.R. to a weapons-enhanced glider. So when Castle put the former super villain in his sites, it wasn’t received quite as well. Since that failed assassination attempt, Osborn has tried to turn the tables on the Punisher. Despite his best efforts, Castle has eluded him to continue his surgical strikes on H.A.M.M.E.R.’s centers of power. With traditional means of bringing in his foe exhausted, Osborn turns to the Hood and his wide-reaching criminal network. Resurrecting 16 super villains killed by extreme vigilantes, he promises the super-powered thugs a second chance at life - if they bring him the head of Frank Castle!

The Punisher always knew he’d die on the job. But he didn’t know he’d have an expiration date. After busting up a slave ring in downtown Philadelphia, Frank Castle has been tricked, trapped, gassed, strapped to a table and injected with a serum that will turn him into a 220-pound corpse by dawn -- six hours from now. The people who grabbed him want him to do a simple little job and then they’ll give him the antidote -- simple, right? Guess again. The Punisher is nobody’s errand boy. There’s only one thing he wants to do before he dies: Take as many bastards as he can with him.

Punisher Max Kingpin TP


Written by JASON AARON, Penciled by STEVE DILLON, Cover by STEVE DILLON

The Punisher’s one-man war on crime has been going well lately. A little too well. The mob bosses that make up the heads of the major crime families have banded together to finish off the Punisher for good. They’ve set a trap for Frank, using a low-level mob enforcer named Wilson Fisk to play the part of the “Kingpin of Crime,” an imaginary figure they know Frank won’t be able to resist. With their trap set, the bosses have only to wait for the Punisher to take the bait. But the bosses aren’t the only people with a plan. It seems that Wilson Fisk is tired of playing the heavy. He quite likes the idea of being the Kingpin, enough that he’d be willing to kill his own bosses to keep the position. Collecting PUNISHERMAX #1-5.

The reintroduction of a classic, brutal and bloodthirsty Kraven the Hunter! A bank robbery goes violently wrong -- leaving the Rhino on the lam, running from the long arm of the law and, of course, the Punisher. As Frank Castle looks to settle the score with an old foe, the Hunter stalks the same prey, building himself the ultimate menagerie -- a living, breathing super-human zoo! Add Spider-Man into this mix as the lone voice of sanity, and you've got chocolate and peanut butter with bullets dipped in it. Plus: Take a look inside the life and times of two misfits who've both been victims of the Punisher. And with World War Hulk in full swing and New York shut off from the outside world, who's left to protect those left behind? Frank Castle, that's who -- and he's none too thrilled. As the insatiable Mung the Inconceivable rampages alone through lower Manhattan, Frank and Clarke help a small band of refugees hold back his relentless onslaught.

The Marvel Universe is overrun with evil, slimy green aliens from beyond the stars. Did you honestly believe the Punisher wouldn’t get his hands dirty? As seen in the smash-hit series Secret Invasion, fearsome aliens known as Skrulls have used their shape-shifting abilities to infiltrate the Earth’s superhuman community at every level in an attempt to seize the planet for themselves. Freed from prison as a result of the attack, the Punisher falls back into old habits: guns, mayhem and explosions. But this time, instead of setting his sites on the mafia or maniacs in brightly colored costumes, Frank Castle is fighting for the human race’s future, by blasting a hole in every green-skinned monstrosity he comes across.

Frank Castle - the Punisher - is a one-man army locked, loaded and ready to take down anyone in his way, meting out the ultimate punishment to criminals: death. The Punisher makes his return by eliminating the ruthless Ma Gnucci's crime family - pursued by the NYPD's two-detective Punisher Task Force, crazed contract killer the Russian and super hero Daredevil; and emulated by three copycat killers who want to join forces with him. The over-the-top action builds toward a showdown in the apartment building Frank shares with the mousy Joan, overweight Mr. Bumpo and punk Spacker Dave. Now, Castle must survive to finish his vendetta, making sure his neighbors aren't caught in the crossfire while evil is punished. When WELCOME BACK, FRANK debuted in 2000, writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon (with inker Jimmy Palmiotti and iconic cover artist Tim Bradstreet) gave the Punisher a redefining fresh start that once more made him a force to be reckoned with and served as the catalyst for two feature films.
