Punisher: Soviet #1

Garth Ennis returns to Frank Castle for this MAX Comics miniseries, and Rivera's cover sets the tone immediately: the Punisher strides forward in his skull-emblazoned coat, shotgun in hand, while a second heavily armed figure moves in the background — all rendered against a stark Soviet hammer-and-sickle in deep red and gold. It's a striking, propaganda-poster composition that signals something cold, purposeful, and transatlantic about the trouble ahead. With Jacen Burrows on interior art and Nolan Woodard on colors, Punisher: Soviet looks like one of the more grounded and stylish Punisher launches in years.
