After having enjoyed Duane Swierczynski's work on The Black Hood,I tracked down this mini series from a few years back. And he didn't disappoint me.

Jack is a werewolf. Since the month before he turned 18 every month during the full moon he becomes a killing machine. During his first transformation he killed his parents and went on the run.

At the end of the issue he returns home from one of his trips to the room,but finds his fiance dead,her stomach ripped open. And the message It was a girl written in blood on the wall.

2016 Comic Challenge 036 Punisher #01 MAX Series

TITLE-Punisher #01 MAX series
PUBLISHER-Marvel MAX

The start of the long running MAX series. For those that don't know MAX is Marvels adults only line of comics.

And what a way to start a series. Frank has been to his family's grave. Then infiltrates a mafia party. Where he kills one of the oldest members and calmly walks out. Of course all the mobsters chase him outside. But Frank has a plan. He has a full auto machine gun. And wipes out almost all the people after him.

Then we skip ahead and find out that Microchip,Frank's old partner,has put a hit out on Frank.

Before this the only Garth Ennis written Punisher I had read was the mini series that Thomas Jane movie was based on. And like most other Ennis comics this is a nice blending of ultra violence with a multi-layered story.

Punisher #01 MAX Series gets a Buy.
