The Punisher #12

Part four of "Taxi Wars" lands with this Marvel Knights entry from 2002, written by Tom Peyer with art by Manuel Gutierrez. Tim Bradstreet's cover work puts Frank Castle front and center — grim-faced, black-jacketed, and gripping a weapon — his skull emblem a stark white against the dark leather, the checkered border framing him like a man who has already decided how this ends. If you've been following this arc, this closing chapter looks every bit as unrelenting as the issues before it.
