Frank Castle was a decorated and highly trained officer who became a different man after the mob killed his family. Fueled with vengeance, he became The Punisher, a vigilante who worked outside the system delivering swift, unforgiving justice to those who would escape it. He has spent most of his time doing his part to clean up the filthy streets of New York City. Now, he’s got a new city to clean up, the city of angles.

Another day, another drug dealer. Frank has taken his war against crime to L.A. He has been tracking a local drug ring that gets it’s merchandise from Mexico. After “convincing” those along the chain to give him what he wants, he hands out the punishment appropriately. Little does he know, that a group of pro’s has been hired to handle him. I sure hope they have good insurance!

I’m not going to lie, I was excited when I heard this was coming out this year. Nathan Edmonson (writer) has kicked off this new volume in true Punisher fashion. I thought he did an excellent job with Franks dialogue. Mitch Cerads (artist) has done a fantastic job with this issue’s art and layout. The story continues in The Punisher #2, due out February 19th. It’s good to see The Punisher kicking ass again, making this a great jumping-on point for any fan! With that in mind, get on over to your local comic shop and grab your issue today!!
