The last one-shot was excellent. One of the best Punisher comics to come out in a long time. Hope this continues the trend. Never heard of the writer though.
Most of the MAX one-shots I’ve read have been fantastic.
I don’t know about this $4.99 price tag.
More Laurence Campbell!
I love Laurence Campbell, but I dont know the writer. I’ll give it a shot though, I just wish it werent five bucks.
Cool cover. Might check it out.
Love the cover.
Serious Dave Johnson influence on the cover.
They are just dumb sellin this for 5 bucks
This was shockingly a very great one-shot to read, almost my POTW.
It takes a while to figure out what exactly is going on, but once I did figure it out I loved it. Butterfly is a pretty intriguing character and (SPOILERS) I hope she comes back somehow. The art by Campbell was also great, but the coloring of this still makes me double think he needs a new colorist. Either way a great comic for Punisher fans.
@TNC This was my pick this week. Totally sweet take involving the first arc of MAX. It was pretty cool to have a story affected by the Punisher, but with him in the background.
@vadam – If you haven’t read it and can track it down, there was a decent one-shot earlier in the MAX run. Frank was mostly a background character, chasing the criminal that was the main character of the issue.
Do you remember the title? Otherwise I won’t really know where to look.
@vadamowens: Glad to see someone else really liked this. The MAX one-shots have been very good lately. It also gives me more options to think if/when/god forbid Jason Aaron leaves the ongoing. Rob Williams and Valerie D’Orazio don’t sound like sexy names; but they can write one hell of a Punisher comic.
Everyone once in a while you read something that makes you say WOW. This was one of those times. This was brilliant. Not just my POTW, but my Pick Of 2010, so far.
Oops *Every* once in a while …
@vadamowens- The Massimo hit in the book was in the early issues of Ennis’ MAX run, & from memory it would be in the first trade (I’m not 100% sure because I read it when it came out in issues) but I can’t recommend reading the whole run highly enough.

@Wade I was actually talking about @sunnyvale’s post talking about a previous one-shot with a similar approach as this book. I think TNC tried to answer the question, but I still don’t have a title. Can anyone help me out of that?
I’ve actually read all of the MAX books thus far, so I’m up to date. Thanks for the help and being so thorough:)
So far my pic for best issue of the year
The writer has a comic blog as well, which is where I heard of this issue in the 1st place.
@vada- My bad, lol. Not sure which one-shot @sunnyvale is talking about, but there was another one-shot this year called "Get Castle" that was also REALLY good.
Cool. Thanks
