The Punisher MAX: The Complete Collection, Vol. 6 by Jonathan Maberry, Valerie D'Orazio, Jason Aaron, Shawn Martinbrough, Juan José Ryp, Rob Williams, Roland Boschi, Laurence Campbell
3.0

So this entire volume was just one shots...some not so great ones...Some GREAT ones. This is the chance with one shots.

So let me talk about a couple that didn't work for me. There's one of a writer, she's trying to create a story but pushing towards actual events and having people kill and murder. It's stupid with a dumb ending. There's also a couple stories that are standard bad guy being bad, robs and kills people, fakes he's a good guy, but Punisher knows all. Snooooooze. Been there.

But there's some great ones in here. My two favorite being about a guy who sees Punisher kill a bunch of people and leave one person nearly dead. He then takes that person, puts him in a tub, and tortures him. He has fantasies about doing this to other people. Yep...shit is crazy. I also loved the story at the very end about revenge, and how a boy learns from Punisher's actions on how to be a decent person. There's other good stories of Punisher freeing working girls and kidnapped girls as well as killing pieces of redneck shit.

So overall a decent collection. Mixed bag but overall had fun. Now on to the FINAL volume of the Max Series.
