Punisher: The Platoon #2

You can't go wrong with this series. If you are Ennis fan or The Punisher's classic MAX stories you will love it. It's Ennis and I don't remember him writing a bad Punisher story. Read Full Review

This is a fucking awesome comic. I noticed early on how much I loved Goran Parlov's art, and how expressive his characters' faces were...he seems to be getting better and better...and I loved the reflection on war and killing in this issue; the page where one of Castle's men reflects on the impact killing has, and will always have, on a man is so great. I just love Ennis' rendition of the Punisher. He knows this character so well...Frank is shrouded in mystery here, where the viewpoint is from his old platoon...he remains an enigma to them and to us. This is also one of the most brutally violent comics I can recall, but this just makes the subtext about what killing really means stand out. Fantastic comic.

This is the Punisher origin you are looking for.

IMO, "Born" works better for this purpose.
