As I said in the previous reviews, this formula works! Short stories, one or two issues, solving "street level" problems as if a MAX story would work but only with one issue. It's been good these past two issues and I want to see more! Sadly this run will end in three issues. Read Full Review

I know its a tough task to follow up on Dillon's art, but since his departure, this series art has not been that good. I thought this issue had some good art involved, but Frank himself was not done well in my opinion. The plot is not in-depth which is not necessarily a bad thing. Punisher taking down bad guys, can't go wrong. Cloonan has done a decent job with the series. Some issues are better than others. This is good, just not anything spectacular.

Frank saves some women and foils a murderous burglary during a blackout. It's a high concept one-shot story and a very ambitious one. Lee Loughridge's low-light colors are impressive; Matt Horak's art (particularly faces) is a little less so. I really admire Becky Cloonan's script, but it's got its flaws. While it's true that the details of a MacGuffin don't matter to a story's plot, that doesn't mean the audience doesn't want to know them! This story never reveals what the burglars are after. Some of Frank's tactical decisions are omitted, too, and the ones that are shown rely on "rule of cool" more than good military sense. Yes, it's silly/stupid for Frank to trick out a car with a big Punisher skull on the hood. But OMG it looks so cool! more
