Punisher #3
This volume collects issues #13-18 of the 2003 Punisher series by Garth Ennis, continuing Frank Castle's one-man war on crime in a story arc titled 'Business as Usual.' The narrative pits the Punisher against a new wave of organized crime and corrupt officials, showcasing Ennis's signature blend of dark humor and brutal action.
In "A Good Clean Fight," Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson deliver a brutal, razor-edged thriller as the Punisher tracks a series of gruesome mob attacks involving severed limbs—only to collide with Wolverine, who’s on the same trail. The two iconic warriors clash in a violent showdown that’s abruptly cut short by a shocking reveal: the real perpetrators are a group of small-statured individuals, turning the hunt into something far more twisted than either expected. Tim Bradstreet’s cover captures the chaos perfectly, while the interior art by Robertson and color work by Matt Milla bring the gritty, relentless tone to life.
In "The Exclusive," a desperate Bugle reporter named Jo drags a reluctant Soap into a night of brutal street justice, hoping to capture the Punisher’s most dangerous mission yet—only to discover that survival might be the real story.
In "Vertical Challenge," the Punisher tracks a series of brutal mob attacks where victims are severed at the knees, leading him to cross paths with Wolverine, who’s chasing the same mystery. Their clash is sudden and violent—until the real perpetrators emerge: a group of small-statured individuals, turning the investigation into something far more unexpected than either man anticipated.
In "Aim Low," the Punisher and Wolverine team up for a bizarre and brutal mission when a gang of diminutive criminals launches a violent takeover of the mob—literally, by targeting their legs. With Frank's trademark ruthlessness and Logan's savage instincts, the duo faces off against a threat that’s small in stature but no less dangerous.
