This massive hardcover collects the opening salvo of Garth Ennis's acclaimed, mature-readers take on Frank Castle, reprinting the first 30 issues of Punisher Max along with the Born miniseries. Set outside mainstream Marvel continuity, these stories strip the Punisher down to a gritty, violent force of nature in a world of organized crime and corruption. The omnibus includes the complete arcs of 'In the Beginning,' 'Kitchen Irish,' 'Mother Russia,' and 'Up Is Down and Black Is White,' establishing Ennis's definitive run on the character.
