The Punisher #10

Frank Castle sits alone on a prison cell floor, bloodied and bare-armed, a knife in hand, surrounded by hundreds of tally marks scratched across the walls — a haunting visual that speaks to time served and survival at any cost. The outstretched hand of a fallen figure at the edge of the frame adds a grim punctuation to an already tense scene. Mitch Gerads' cover work here is quietly striking, and with Nathan Edmondson's "Mercury Rising" as the story within, this 2014 issue promises a Frank Castle pushed to his absolute limits.
