AGENT OF DESTRUCTION!

• Agent Ortiz is now up against both the Punisher and an entire deadly mercenary outfit.
• Agent Ortiz might be in trouble.
Parental Advisory
This issue is so well written that it can stand alone and even though it's not the beginning of an arc, it's easy enough to follow that it would make a nice entry point into the character and the story as a whole. There's so much to love about this issue, from it's easy to follow along with plot to its easily identifiable Gillian's, to its characters with clear motives and personal agendas who don't come off as one-dimensional, cookie-cutter bad guys. The only I didn't like about this issue is that there wasn't more of it and now I have to wait to see what happens next to Frank, Agent Ortiz and Condor as a whole. But, I know with Cloonan at the helm it'll be well worth the wait. Read Full Review
I've been a fan of Guru-eFx for since his coloring work in Thunderbolts. Today he kept doing what i've been writing for years about him. He really add even more quality to Horak's art and gave life to splash scenes and make even more entertaining the comic book. Read Full Review
I'm not sure there is a word in the English language to describe how bad Cloonans' " Punisher" run has been and issue #10 is no exception. With the passing of artist Steve Dillon, the only reason to buy this title is gone. Time for a writer change and a total reboot.
Olaf turns into the big bad, the Punisher gets himself captured, and Agent Ortiz is nibbling around the edge of the story. In both the gleefully juvenile action scenes and the inept grotesqueries of the art, this issue reeks of Avatar Press. Marvel and the Punisher are supposed to be better than this.
