Punisher: War Zone #4

The penultimate chapter of Greg Rucka's five-part limited series delivers a rain-soaked cover by Marco Checchetto that says everything about where Frank Castle stands with Earth's Mightiest Heroes — the Punisher looms upright in the storm while Captain America, Iron Man, and other fallen Avengers are strewn across the ground around him. It's a stark, atmospheric image that frames the tension between Frank's uncompromising methods and the superhero establishment in a single, quietly devastating tableau. Carmine Di Giandomenico handles the interior art, with Matt Hollingsworth's colors carrying that same cold, steely mood into the story itself.
