The only up point to "Punisher: Butterfly" is Laurence Campbell's art which, along with Lee Loughridge's colors, has some nice work with shadows and negative space. The final panel where the Punisher is a cut-out of darkness (save for his skull shirt) is drawn excellently, for instance, and some of the tight close-ups on people's lips as they whisper a word, or a pair of eyes, come across well. Even then, I wouldn't say to pick up the book if you're a big Campbell fan and want to see more of his art. "Punisher: Butterfly," especially at a cover price of $4.99, only serves to water down and neutralize the strong work done elsewhere with the character. If it comes to one-shots like this or nothing at all outside of the regular series and their creative teams, I'd rather see the latter, please. Read Full Review
