Nerd Initiative - Michael Rothman
Dec 10, 2025Every single issue of Marvel Knights: The Punisher has been pretty close to flawless. It's heartbreaking to see what they've done to Frank, but the more you dive into this new world, the more you appreciate the brilliant crafting of this story. Ross, as the subplot and potential bumbling hero, is a nice juxtaposition to the gritty world that normally dominates this series. Read Full Review

Dec 15, 2025‘Marvel Knights: The Punisher’ #3 sees Frank Castle go cold turkey. The results are both psychological and physically intense, as this one-man army crimefighter swaps one trigger-happy boss with another. Read Full Review

Fanlight Zone - Rich Coryell
Dec 10, 2025Marvel Knights: The Punisher #3 is an emotional rollercoaster with some heavy and graphic content. The dark and deep storytelling, along with the graphic art won't be for everyone. Fortunately, for those who enjoy the more adult centered themes this issue will be great for them. This story is really heating up and if you don't want to miss what's next make sure this is on your Pull List. Read Full Review

The Comic Book Spot - Adam Koppel
Dec 12, 2025Marvel Knights: The Punisher #3 is a solid crime thriller with gorgeous art that moves the plot forward while bringing Frank Castle back as an actual functioning character, one even more scarred than before (both inside and out). The story is uncompromising in its cruelty, brutality and corruption, but the flawed and likable Everett Ross adds a sense of humanity and hope. Read Full Review

Dec 14, 2025None of this is enough to suddenly make me a full-on Punisher fan, but it is enough to say that I genuinely enjoyed my time with this book and am actually looking forward to seeing how it all wraps up. Read Full Review

Plot This takes place five years before the events of WORLD TO COME. Everett K. Ross manages to infiltrate Molerro's organization and, with the help of Mexican government agent Maria, they capture Punisher and remove the effects of the Zombie drug. Frank reacts and begins to remember all the horrific crimes he committed. He shoots himself in the head, but survives and, now recovered, is ready to take revenge on those who forced him to become the monstrous being known as EL ZOMBIE. This installment slows the pace of the action to establish the narrative groundwork for what's to come. Art It's raw, full of detail, textures, and a roughness in the lines that makes the sequences dizzying and impactful. It's a masterpiece on every more

Lets all ignore Sad Comics, as usual. This story telling continues to be very solid. But I have to be honest that I do expect better from Dan Panosian's art, but man I do love the colouring in this series. The vibe is insanely well done and it makes the art all come together. You can't be mad buying this comic book, but I'm afraid it won't become a classic.
