Marvel Universe vs. the Punisher #[nn]

A grim, heavily armed Punisher stands front and center on Goran Parlov's striking cover, his signature skull replaced by a biohazard symbol — a pointed hint at the infected, apocalyptic world surrounding him. Framed in the background are crosshair-ringed faces of Marvel's most recognizable figures, including the Hulk, the Joker-grinned Green Goblin, and what appears to be Spider-Man, all rendered in an eerie yellow-green palette that sells the sense of widespread contagion. Jonathan Maberry's "Last Gun on Earth" promises a bleak, high-stakes 2010 Marvel tale where the Punisher may well be humanity's only remaining hope.
