• Wilson Fisk has reason to believe that one of his own men is staging a coup-and killing those who won't surrender their loyalty.
• But mutiny becomes the least of Fisk's worries when the Punisher launches an attack on the Kingpin's safe house.
• Can the Fisk keep his business afloat with his cronies dropping like flies, and Frank Castle gunning for him, or is this finally the end of the reign of the KINGPIN?
Rated T+
Overall, we're very pleased with this issue. Fisk explains his motives, Frank Castle shows up on the scene, and they both violently scrap it out. The huge fight sequence will please fans of either character, and the artwork compliments the dark storyline wonderfully. Read Full Review
Kingpin finally reaches a new level as a battle with ThePunisher (not a spoiler, it's on the freaking cover) gives us intense actionthat will have most turning page after page excited to see what comes next.Something that couldn't have said prior to this issue I now say with pride. I'mlooking forward to the reset of this series. Read Full Review
Final Thoughts: "Fighting issues" as I've come to call comics that hinge a bulk of the book on one-on-one fights, can come off like rock 'em sock 'em robots when done wrong. But when a creative team takes the time to install the right amount of story and stakes this type of issue can be ultimately satisfying. This book delivers and then some. The Kingpin comes off looking like the brutal beast that he really is and that should be the goal for a self-titled mini-series. Read Full Review
It was a really good issue, specially for the Punisher appearance. Great fight and respectable writing from Matthew Rosenberg. The art could be better but it was decent in the right moments. It's very recommendable for every Punisher fan. Even if you do not follow this run, just buy this single issue.The cover is one of the best i have seen this year. Aaron just nailed it.

If this storyline wraps up as seems to be indicated so far, the next issue could be incredible. However, despite any plot that this particular installment of this series may be setting up, it's a weak addition which probably could have been handled better. Read Full Review
Finally! A knock-down-drag-out fight for the ages, something rare in the Civil War II series (go-figure). Two manly-men going at it, beating each other within an inch of their lives. Blood, and bruises, and bullets. My kind of comic!
