So let's talk opinions. I thought that this book was very entertaining to read. It had all of the required action sequences and it didn't let up for a second. But to call it a Punisher book, where the Punisher shows up for eight panels in the entire book, is wrong. To call it a Punisher Max book, after the way the regular Max series has been delivering month after month of great issues, is just an insult.

The story's success basically boils down to how much Punisher do you expect to see in a Punisher one-shot.
