By Gregg Hurwitz (writer), Laurence Campbell (artist), Lee Loughridge (colors), Cory Petit (letters), Dave Johnson (cover) Everyone knows how skeptical I am of anyone not Garth Ennis writing Punisher. Sure, it can be done but it rarely is done (though Punisher Little Black Book was good, I’ll admit). I’ve been harping on it for weeks, [...]

By Victor Gischler (writer), Jefte Palo (pencils), Lee Loughridge (colors) This one shot reminds me of why I’m a Punisher MAX fan. Like a lot of the recent Punisher stories, it’s told from someone else’s perspective, a classy escort known only as Vette.
