Marvel Saga #2
In this pivotal issue of Marvel Saga #2, Frank Castle confronts his relentless archenemy Jigsaw in a brutal standoff that tests his unwavering code—refusing to kill even as the madman lies at his mercy. With help from Bridge and SHIELD’s tactical team, including agent Lynn Michaels, the Punisher dismantles the Wrecking Crew and sets in motion a reckoning that leads to a shocking moment of closure for a young man scarred by Jigsaw’s twisted experiments. Written by Matt Fraction and Rick Remender, with dynamic artwork by Howard Chaykin and vibrant colors by Edgar Delgado and Jesus Aburtov, the story unfolds with tense precision. The cover by Clint Langley captures the intensity of the moment, a 5.60 EUR comic from 2009 that stands out in the series’ bold narrative arc.
In "null," the Punisher finds himself outmatched when Lady Gorgon and her team overwhelm him, forcing Sable, Val, and Domino to intervene. As the SHIELD operatives clash with the Hand's operatives, a wounded Frank crawls toward a subway car, only to face his younger, more ruthless imitator—Ian—before Bridge arrives to pull him from the brink.
In "null," Frank and Bridge, handcuffed together, find themselves caught in a high-stakes chase after a SHIELD convoy is ambushed by Jigsaw and the Wrecking Crew. With Stuart poised to break Frank free and Diamonelle standing in his way, the tension builds as the two prisoners share a quiet moment in the back of the transport—just before they’re forced to fight for survival.
In "null," Frank Castle faces off against Jigsaw once more, this time with the Wrecking Crew and the Rhino in tow, as Bridge and SHIELD’s Lynn Michaels weave a tense, calculated trap. Though Jigsaw lies at his mercy, Frank chooses not to kill—instead turning him over to justice, while a young man long twisted by the villain’s schemes finally gets his chance to confront the man who broke him.
In "null," Stuart, haunted by video evidence that the Punisher killed his girlfriend years ago, dons the Rampage suit to hunt Frank down—just as a Skrull invasion plunges Earth into chaos and disables all Stark tech, freeing the Punisher from prison. With Sitwell sending Bridge to stop the Punisher’s escalating rampage, the two clash, only to face a Super Skrull in the fray—where Stuart, driven by rage and a thirst for vengeance, makes his move.
In "null," Jo, once a man named Stewart, dons the Rampage suit to settle a long-buried score with Frank, the man responsible for his girlfriend’s death years earlier. But when a brutal clash with Super Skrulls erupts, his path crosses with Punisher and Bridge, and a violent encounter leaves his face so scarred he begins to look like the legendary Jigsaw—his past and present colliding in a moment that changes everything.
In a quiet Christmas moment, Frank Castle returns to the ruins of a bar he once destroyed, drawn back not by memory but by a new target: low-level thugs who've stolen the Stilt-Man suit from the Tinkerer’s cache. But when the Rhino arrives with an unexpected proposition—asked to perform a Christmas miracle—Frank must confront a choice that defies everything he’s become.
