Punisher: Frank Castle Max #67

Frank Castle stands bloodied but unyielding atop a fallen enemy, gun in hand, against a stark red-and-black cityscape bearing the ominous words "6 Hours to Kill" — Dave Johnson's cover art is all grim menace and raw tension. This is chapter two of Duane Swierczynski's "Six Hours to Kill" arc, with interior art by Michel Lacombe, and the MAX imprint's explicit-content label makes clear this is the Punisher at his most uncompromising. If you're following Frank Castle's 2009 run, this issue promises exactly the kind of brutal, street-level punishment the title has always delivered.
