Punisher #44

Part two of "Widowmaker" arrives under the MAX Comics banner with one of the most striking covers of the run — a BOLO sheet for one Frank Castiglione, alias Frank Castle, held up against a cluttered table scattered with cigarette butts, loose bullets, and a half-eaten plate of food. Tim Bradstreet's photo-realistic cover art makes the wanted bulletin feel unnervingly authentic, listing charges of murder, assault, kidnapping, and assault on officers of the law. Garth Ennis and Lan Medina's mature-readers series continues to keep the heat on Marvel's most relentless vigilante, and this issue makes clear that the law hasn't forgotten Frank Castle — even if he'd prefer they had.
