Once, he was an ex-Marine trying to start a new life with his loving family. But when his wife and children were murdered by the mob, Frank Castle dedicated his existence to ending theirs. Now, the one-man army known as the Punisher has declared war on the guilty... and he won't stop until they're all dead. This time, two of comics' toughest butt-kickers collide when Wolverine and Punisher team up to take down a bizarre underworld predator. But first, the Punisher sojourns to South America, where he must rescue a Mafia don from angry guerilla fighters - but if the mercenaries don't kill the Mafioso, the Punisher just might do it himself. Finally, it's Punisher at its most personal - as Belfast-born Ennis brings Frank face-to-face with terrorism in Northern Ireland.

Garth Ennis' Marvel Knights Punisher run resumes and grows!

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2011

Verified Purchase

This book marks the 3rd collection of Ennis' run as writer of the Punisher's renaissance under the Marvel Knights banner.
After the initial 12 part first volume, an amazingly fun run, pulp as hell and dark at heart, the series had somewhat left me down, as the second collection went into way too bizarre grounds to be put into the same category of excellence as the first one. This one, though, is another step in the right direction, as well as the beginning of Ennis' total repel of traditional superheroes.
One one hand we have the opening two parter and the concluding single issue story, with unparalleled artist Steve Dillon, grounding the Punisher a bit more in "realistic" pulp crime territory. Still bizarre, still over the top, but without openly fantastic elements. The former is the tale of the Punisher's rescue of a kidnapped mafia don, apparently to get him to stop an all-out New York mafia war... But what the Punisher ultimately has in mind may not be what you expect at all! The latter self-contained issue is a violent, morbid story about the eternal low-key civil war in Ulster, its degeneration into turf war, its loss of any pretence of being about politics and not ere hate. Brilliant, classic Ennis work.
In-between are: A self-contained story of a journalist blackmailing the Punisher into riding along with him to get a story... and receiving far more than he thought he would! A 2-parter about, huh, mafia soldiers being mysteriously kidnapped after having their legs cut off... with a motor-mouthed self-talking Wolverine picking up their trail ending up fighting the Punisher, and basically making himself ridiculous while getting his ass constantly kicked by the Punisher. An entertaining little senseless tale, but a bit too bizarre again an too unfair side, as far as satyrs go. I imagine Ennis was enjoying a bit too much free reign, which he used to vent some frustration towards the dominant genre of US comics and, most of all, its general trademark bad writing. Not enough to put off comic geeks, though, and quite enough to win non-comic fans over, while reminding them exactly that superheroes are merely the flashy, baroque façade of the comics world, but that there's so much more underneath. I am actually looking forward to the hunt for the rest of this series' collections once again!

Awesome ending that leaves you asking fo more

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2011

I have all three and by the time I finished vol 3 I was looking for more. The Punisher is wild you eventually learn as you read on that his cause is just but somewhere along the way he's become a little mad so you begin to question his motives after killing so many. but then again you find yourself cheering him on just because he's taking out the trash. I love this guy more than any other marvel character just a blast read and non stop violence. I tell you this is a must have for any Punisher fan.

Worth buying (it's Garth Ennis writing the Punisher after all)

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2013

Nice reading. The first story arc Killing La Vida Loca (by Ennis/Dillon) is the best one. The other three stories are good, but not awesome, although it was interesting checking out The Punisher as drawn by Darick Robertson.
Overall, I prefer this TPB to the previous one (Business As Usual) and to the Punisher vol. 5 miniseries (Welcome Back Frank).

Great book

Punisher Vs Wolverine

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2011

This collected edition of The Punisher by Garth Ennis see's Frank Castle go up against his most hated enemy - the Mob. In a series of short, connected stories we see Frank go to South America for a hostage recovery; a night on the town with a relentless reporter, intent on writing Frank's story; an encounter with the midget mafia and everybody's favourite adamantium Canuck; and a visit to Belfast, post Good Friday agreement.

I was surprised to find this volume as I thought Ennis has written the MAX series, along with a series of one shots - I didn't realise he did the series proper! And why are 9 out of the 10 books out of print?! This was book was the funniest Punisher book I've read yet. It's very dark humour but if you're a fan of Ennis and the Punisher you'll laugh, especially at the Wolverine cross-over and showdown. The things Frank does to Logan...

Long time collaborators Steve Dillon and Darrick Robertson illustrate all the stories and do a damn fine job throughout. Dillon is the artist to draw Frank just as Ennis is the author to write Frank.

If you've enjoyed Ennis' work on The Punisher MAX series, the decision to pick this up is a no-brainer. Excellent writing, great stories, excellent artwork, I recommend this highly and will keep an eagle eye out for the other books in the series. Hopefully Marvel will reprint them soon.

Three good to great stories

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2013

There are at least 3 of these funny stories in this volume. Ennis continues on with making OTT goofy stories about the Punisher character. The South American rescue story was good, but nothing to shout about. The second story about the reporter who would do anything to get his story was really OTT funny. But the last story involving the old canucklehead was terrifically funny. Referring to the Wolverine as the Rodent was perfect.

entertaining read, confusing publishing.

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2004

At the time of this review (10/04), though the first two volumes have the same cover no matter hardcover (called "unbound" sometimes on amazon) or paperback, that trend ends. I only have the hardcovers, but generally this is the idea:

This 3rd HARDCOVER collection has the same cover as the 4th PAPERBACK collection - frank with a gun pointed up. The paperback Vol. 3 has wolverine on it.

All collections are from the 37 issue marvel knights series that came after the maxi-series called "welcome back, frank".

Hardcover Vol. 2 = #1-7, and #13-18.

Hardcover Vol. 3 = #19-27.

Hardcover Vol. 4 = ?

Paperback Vol. 2 = #1-7.

Paperback Vol. 3 = #13-18.

Paperback Vol. 4 = #20-26 or 27. (depending on source)

Paperback Vol. 5 = #19, 27-32.

Great writing on this one. The story gets more bizarre than before, but still easy to follow and typical dillon artwork.
