It's part 4 of “Blood and Sand,” with the heart of the American dream at stake. G.W. Bridge is on the hunt. Clarke is on the run. Tati's in hell. And THE PUNISHER discovers the horrible secret of Hate Monger's empire buried beneath the desert floor. Which means this is the issue where the bodies start dropping and hope comes in short supply. Frank's insane crusade against the Hate Monger's diabolical murder sprees south of the border finds its bloody tipping point, and it's only going to get worse from here. Can one man stand against an army fueled by pure hate?
BONUS REVIEW by W. DAL BUSH
How did this happen? How did I end up loving, not liking, LOVING two different Punisher series from Marvel? I guess when you get writers like Garth Ennis, and in this case Matt Fraction, anything's possible. We're nearing the end of the second major arc, and Punishcap (Capisher?) is getting ready to go full-on Punisher on the all-new Hate Monger. And I - AM - LOVING IT. Tight plotting and action that doesn't skimp on the epic violence or Crazy Frank Castle, this one's for the 15 year old in all of us. In a good way. 8 Grahams
