BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ROBINSON


Wow, best book I read this week and the one of the best Punisher books I've ever read. I groaned when I saw the cover price ($4.99) - and figured it would be another rip-off worthless1-shot. I'm totally unfamiliar with writer Rob Wiliams work - but I'll now be seeking out everything the guy writes! Complete, satisfying and iconic Punisher story. Great comic for anyone that's never read a comic - though it is a MAX title so it's VIOLENCE is extreme and disturbing at times. So far, BEST COMIC OF 2010. .

I give it 10 out of 10 Grahams
