Parental Advisory
The tables have turned and now the Punisher is on the run now. He's had the advantage through the early issues and has been catching the enemy off balance. That has changed as troops now have technology on his level as well. This has been my favorite issue thus far, and we'll see what Frank's plan is to get back in the fight. Read Full Review
This seems to be a rare instance where everyone working on the title is the perfect fit for it. Read Full Review
Punisher #220 is another really fun entry in the saga of Frank Castle, and it makes full use of the War Machine in both potential and creative usage. The art team fires on all cylinders, too, and this comic comes recommended. Pick it up. Read Full Review
Another great issue of this Punisher series delivered almost flawlessly by Matthew Rosenberg with an engaging story and top-notch action. Guiu's art is polished and fit perfectly into this story. Read Full Review
The story is starting to get traction and the creative team has found the right mix of elements to tell the story well. Even after his mission is accomplished, there is so much more Frank could do with this suit. But first, he has got to get out of a rather deadly situation. Can't wait for the next issue!

Matthew Rosenberg keeps this wacky time in Punisher comics straight forward and tasteful. This could've easily been a disaster, but instead it's exactly what it needed to be. Read Full Review
There's little sense of scale or intensity to the many armored battles in this issue. After three issues, it's enough to wish Frank would just get back to basics. Read Full Review
The believability of Frank in the War Machine armor is astonishing. Great action and dialogue.
A must read !
This continues to be one of my favorite arcs on the stands. Great art and a good Frank make this a must read.
The Punisher has difficulty locating the dictator, so he just resolves to liberate concentration camps until somebody takes notice. "Somebody" takes the shape of five rogue SHIELD operatives, each wearing a set of armor as powerful as the War Machine. Wuh-oh. Matthew Rosenberg's script is admirably efficient at the front but starts decompressing like a decapitated SCUBA tank at the end, culminating in a rather dull Fatality Fakeout. Guiu Villanova's art is turning me off again. This looks like an excellent set of sketches submitted to illustrate the artist's intent; they should have gotten a thumbs-up from the editors and then gotten polished up to a professional level, not published as-is.
Political aside: If Matthew Rosenberg more
The art is good, but the story seems to be dragging a bit for me.
