Rosenberg is pulling zero punches regarding writing Frank Castle. He knows the very essence of the character and despite that he is using the WM armor, he keeps being himself. I don't like to make comparisons which writer is the best, but I can say that Rosenberg writes the Frank Castle I want. Read Full Review

A very Jon Bernthal Punisher in a very bloody all-action issue. Read Full Review

Decent ending to a debatable presentation of Frank's techspertise this arc. Frank's uncannily living thru the 20pages of mishaps borders on detracting.

Punisher wipes out the Petrov regime in a potentially-cool display of natural killing prowess vs. high-tech armor. I can almost accept this absurd action-fest as an "ignore the stupid and enjoy the carnage" Commando-type confection. But the script pushes Frank too far into schlocky invulnerability and the art cuts too many corners. The character renderings are nice, but Chernaya has become "the land of no backgrounds" - placing the action in a total vacuum makes it that much more unbelievable. I did like the brief recognition of the fact that this arc has shoved Frank onto the world stage as an international terrorist of the worst sort; I hope that rep comes back to bite him.
