Garth Ennis presents the Punisher as he is meant to be. This comic, and this volume (Vol.3 Mother Russia) in particular, is very cinematic. It's like watching an action movie, but only better. It contains a wit, heart, and some sensibilities that hollywood action movies rarely posses. And it goes further with the action and violence than any movie could. When you read the interpretations of the Punisher and Nick Fury in this series, they are so hard boiled it's difficult to imagine they exist in the Marvel Universe.
Garth Ennis' knack for putting the Punisher in near impossible situations, then having him pull through in a sometimes more impossible manner, makes for a thrilling read.

Moving the Punisher series to MAX was a masterstroke. Finally, we get to read about Frank's adventures the way they were meant to be read. Dark, gritty, and sometimes disturbing, this is an excellent example of how a comic book should read.
Also worth noting, is the strange relationship between Frank, and the small child he is sent to rescue. As with "Born", "Mother Russia" again offers a very teasing insight to this bleak, psychotic rage that drives Frank. Hopefully, as the series goes on, this darkness inside him will be explored further, to a satisfying conclusion.
All in all, a very worthwhile read if you're a fan of The Punisher. Only four stars however, because Frank spends large parts of the book in Military issue kit, and not enough time in the usual Punisher gear. Still. A minor quibble. You've read this far? Go order it!

A girl with a deadly virus in her blood which could be used by the Russians to wipe out the Western world is being held in an underground nuclear silo and it's up to the Punisher to go in, get the girl, and get out.
Garth Ennis has come up with an excellent, action-packed story for Castle to get involved in. The book ticks over nicely and the scenes speed up as things go from bad to worse and Castle is backed into a corner.
It's a gripping read with plenty of bloodshed, some cool action including a souped-up ninja hobbit. The artwork is good and Dougie Braithwaite brings the gore and chaos to life for the reader.
An excellent continuation of this brilliant series, and one of the best Punisher books out there. Garth Ennis scores again.

Garth Ennis should write the Punisher for evermore
This is Die Hard with Russian nuclear weapons. The action is more intense than any comic book I've read. The story is ludicrous but very gripping. Read more
