Punisher #56

Part two of "Valley Forge, Valley Forge" finds Garth Ennis and Goran Parlov deep in the grim heart of Punisher MAX territory. Tim Bradstreet's cover sets the tone perfectly: five heavily armed, battle-worn soldiers in tactical gear stare out with cold intensity, the Punisher's iconic skull looming as a weathered silhouette on the wall behind them — a quiet threat hanging over the whole scene. It's a masterclass in atmosphere, the kind of cover that makes you want to know exactly who these men are and what they're prepared to do.
