TIME TO GET BACK TO WORK.
For Frank Castle death comes easy...life is where things gets complicated. Fully
loaded with the Eisner winning writer Greg Rucka (Batwoman, Queen and Country,
WOLVERINE) and neo-superstar artist Marco Checchetto (Amazing Spider-Man,
Daredevil), the BIGGEST GUN of all returns with blood on his hands and vengeance
in his eyes. As New York City's body counts continue to rise, the city's streets
are teeming with more methodical criminals than ever and a police force doing
it's best to keep its head above water. The Punisher has returned to serve his
own brand of justice with everything's he's got... but can he survive the
darkness stored in his own arsenal? Plus bonus pages exploring some of the new
personalities in Frank's life...and how closely intertwined living is with
dying.
