Punisher Max by Garth Ennis Omnibus #2

In "Widowmaker Part 1," five mob wives—each widowed by the Punisher’s relentless crusade—unite to hunt him down, turning their grief into a deadly mission. But as they close in, an old enemy with a personal vendetta begins picking them off one by one.

In "Widowmaker Part Two," the Punisher targets a pair of twisted parents who exploited their children for sick, illicit films, delivering his signature brand of brutal justice. As the mob’s wives take notice, they begin plotting a dangerous, personal countermove against the vigilante—turning the hunt into something far more intimate.

In "Widowmaker Part Three," the Punisher walks into a deadly ambush orchestrated by the mob wives, who've lured him into a trap that forces him to take down a squad of enforcers before rescuing Bonnie—only to be led straight into the crosshairs of the Widow. Garth Ennis crafts a tense, visceral escalation where every move feels like a step deeper into a carefully laid death trap.

In "Widowmaker Part Four," the tension reaches a breaking point as Shauna fires on the Punisher and Bonnie turns on him in a brutal assault. Jenny intervenes, eliminating Bonnie and unleashing chaos on the mob wives holed up in the house. With Frank severely injured, Jenny does what she can to tend to his wounds. As the remaining wives scramble to regroup, their nerves fray—Frank is still alive, and their worst fears are confirmed when they realize the woman who saved him is Annabella’s long-dead sister, now very much present and very dangerous.

In "Widowmaker Part Six," the four remaining mob wives, cornered and desperate, scramble to outmaneuver both the police and the Punisher, whose injuries have left him vulnerable. With the stakes higher than ever, Jenny—Annabella’s little sister—steps into the Punisher’s role, donning his iconic kevlar skull shirt and preparing to strike back with lethal precision.

In "Widowmaker Conclusion," Jenny, haunted by loss and rage, dons the Punisher's iconic gear to exact her own brutal justice on the mob wives who’ve been hunting Frank. With her sister Annabella and the other widows gone, the weight of her choices crashes down as Frank, still bound and helpless, faces the aftermath—his legacy now carried by someone who never asked to be a killer.

In "Long Cold Dark Part One," Frank grapples with haunting visions of a life untouched by tragedy, channeling his anguish into a brutal session at the firing range. When he ambushes a mob meeting, he’s swiftly ambushed in turn—captured by Barracuda, who twists the knife with a chilling revelation: an old associate’s child, now in his hands, might just be Frank’s own.

In "Long Cold Dark Part Two," Frank Castle is pushed to the edge when he learns the baby held by Barracuda is his own daughter, Sarah. With the child in danger and Barracuda threatening her with a knife, Frank snaps, breaking free from his restraints and launching into a furious assault. Waking in a hospital battered and broken, he warns authorities that Barracuda will return to kill them all. As Barracuda recovers, consumed by rage at being bested again, Frank escapes with the help of a sympathetic doctor, determined to save his daughter and end the cycle of violence—no matter the cost.

In "Long Cold Dark Part Three," Frank Castle confronts Barracuda in the tense silence of a suburban living room, the weight of past violence hanging in the air. With baby Sarah’s aunt and uncle’s home now a battleground, Barracuda points his gun at the Punisher’s daughter—and pulls the trigger.
