The Punisher #13

Becky Cloonan, Kris Anka, and Matthew Wilson bring their acclaimed run on Marvel's one-man war on crime to a close with this final issue, and Declan Shalvey's cover captures the mood perfectly. Frank Castle is seen from behind, coat-clad and gun in hand, ascending a staircase toward a nighttime cityscape where the Punisher's skull is subtly reflected in the lit windows of a skyscraper — blood trailing on the steps below him. It's a quietly atmospheric image that says everything about this version of Frank: relentless, solitary, and always moving forward into the dark.
