Punisher Vol. 1 by Jason Aaron
3.0

Punisher returns in a pretty wild, weird, and decent fashion.

But I won't lie. While fun this isn't the heights of Jason Aaron's EXCELLENT Punisher Max Run which I consider probably the best Punisher story of all time.

Instead the hand wants Punisher to lead. To fight for them. And in doing so they will kidnap murderers, pedos, evil people and he can rip through them one by one. It's a cool idea, and watching Punisher fight Ares is always a plus. But without the grounded feel this feels like Frank kind of being invincible without a care in the world, and it lacks the scary factor of him actually losing something.

BUt yeah if want some fun brutal murdering time, this ain't bad. But it's not the best either. A 3 out of 5.
