“Living in Darkness”

Rick Remender and Jerome Opeña launch a bold new chapter for Frank Castle during Marvel's 2009 Dark Reign era, with a cover by Mike McKone that sets the stakes immediately: a heavily armed Punisher raises his weapon while a rifle scope zeroes in on The Sentry mid-action amid fiery chaos. The cover copy makes Frank's ambitions plain — his mission is to kill Norman Osborn, but The Sentry stands squarely in his way first — a collision of ruthless street-level determination against near-godlike power that's hard to look away from.
