Punisher #13

Garth Ennis kicks off "Mother Russia" with this atmospheric 2005 Marvel MAX entry, featuring a cover by Tim Bradstreet that sets a brooding, cinematic tone. Frank Castle strides forward through a misty haze, battered and grim-faced, while armed silhouettes loom behind him against what appears to be a Russian skyline — the distinctive onion domes barely visible in the murk. It's a quietly menacing image that captures the Punisher at his most unrelenting, with Dougie Braithwaite and Bill Reinhold handling interior art duties alongside Ennis's unflinching storytelling.
