“SIX HOURS TO KILL, PART 2: FIELD DAY”—W.C. Fields once mused that he’d rather be dead than play Philadelphia. Well, if you cross paths with Frank Castle, you’ll be able to have it both ways. Castle has been injected with a slow-acting poison that will kill him in less than hours—but don’t think he’s going to spend them moping around. As long as blood is still pumping through his rock-hard veins, the Punisher plans on killing as many dirtbags as possible. But the Philadelphia underworld isn’t going to roll over so easily. Neither is the top-secret black bag ops unit that dosed Frank. And don’t forget the Mayor of Philadelphia, who only sees one way of saving his already-shaky political career: killing Frank way before his six hours are up.

BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ROBINSON
Written by Duane Swerczynski (Iron Fist) with art by Michael Lacombe (Star Wars Rebellion). The Punishers been poisoned and has 6 hours to live, the bad guys will give him the antidote if he kills someone for them. What does the Punisher do? Take out as many bad guys in the 6 hours he has left to live, as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
Duane Swerczynski brings, ONCE AGAIN, to Marvel something BMB fails to do month after month. Deliver a STORYLINE. Not just writing a story about what happens to characters in the Marvel U, but first coming up with a PLOT and an IDEA for the story to focus around. And you know what? Stuff happens! It's great! I know, where does he get off? Yet, you all continue to devour every word BMB puts down and overlook this talented writers work.
Please make it stop.
