Punisher Epic Collection #3

Feb 2019 · Marvel · 39.99 USD; 52.00 CAD
“Evolutionary Jihad”

In "Evolutionary Jihad," the Punisher’s quiet operation in the Everglades is shattered when the Kingpin’s assassin, Kleigg, strikes first, killing Reese before the Punisher can respond. With Microchip and the Punisher launching a digital counterattack on the Kingpin’s network, a young hacker is brought in to stop the cyber assault—too late to prevent major damage. As the Kingpin scrambles to protect his empire, the Punisher and his allies launch a brutal strike on the hotel where he’s counting cash, only to face a surprise: a battle tank waiting in ambush. Written by Mike Baron and illustrated by Whilce Portacio, with inks by Scott Williams, colors by Janet Jackson, and letters by Ken Bruzenak, the cover by Portacio and Williams captures the escalating tension.
