VERY FINE/NEAR MINT

Written by Ron Marz, art Adriano Melo, covers by Joseph Michael Linsner and Tim Bradstreet
Sara Pezzini and the Witchblade meet their toughest opponent yet in The Punisher! Urban legend tells of a brutal vigilante on an endless quest to avenge his family, innocent bystanders killed years ago in a mob shootout. The boogie man that criminals warn their troublemaking kids about is called ñ The Punisher. As a New York City homicide detective, Saraís seen just about everything and she doesnít believe in legends. But when she encounters the myth himself during a prison transport she must ask herself -- do the ends justify the means? And will her partner, Patrick Gleason pay the ultimate price for her principles? For the first time ever, the quintessential Punisher artist Tim Bradstreet's art graces a Top Cow cover.
