BONUS REVIEW by Stephen Banas
Overall this Punisher issue was written extremely well. I am really enjoying the job Rick Remender is doing with Frank Castle right now in this new series. He captures what I believe to be the correct tone of the character very accurately with a gritty, calculated and espionage laden tale of mayhem. Ultimately things go awry as we're treated to explosives, gun play and a high intensity chace, the meat and potatoes that completes a healthy Punisher meal. Jerome Opena's rough art style really throws it all over the top and makes this one hell of a fun read.
