One of the best Punisher series in years, the fact it’s Garth Ennis and under the MAX label just reinforce this is how Punisher stories should be told. Art and colours which live up to the high standard of Ennis’ plotting and storytelling, furthering the plot, make Punisher: Soviet a must read series. As the penultimate issue all the pieces are in place for an all out bloody and violent finale. Read Full Review
After five issues of final thoughts, anybody can predict what will be written next. The art and coloring in this series have yet to let us down. The dialogue sounds accurate without being corny or over the top for military jargon. Franks dialogue sounds like Frank. Final thought? This is a great series. Read Full Review

Punisher: Soviet #5 continues to drag its feet toward the finish line, as the creators seem to be completely out of ideas for how to bring this story home in a satisfying manner. Read Full Review
Prelude:
Punisher: Soviet has been one of my favourite series of the past year, let's see how it fares coming into its final issues.
The Good:
I still love the military precision of all this.
Burrow's art still amazes me.
I think Val's death was well done.
Some unexpected twists and turns.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
Another amazing issue from Ennis. I love his Punisher and his work here is great.
Keeps up pace well with some great action. The ending is set up really well!
Is it wrong that I’m rooting for those three dudes that I don’t really know to die?
This was a good one, but not the best.
" Here we go again. "
- PUNISHER
A really good installment that had great action and some really great art. The end needs me reading the next issue.
