The Punisher #18

A striking digital-blueprint of the Los Angeles street grid sets the stage as a bold red silhouette of the Punisher — skull emblem blazing on his chest, assault rifle leveled — cuts through laser-like targeting beams across the cover by Mitch Gerads. The fragmented, code-tagged imagery gives the whole thing an almost surveillance-tactical feel, perfectly suited to Frank Castle's methodical brand of one-man warfare. Edmondson, Gerads, and Schoonover bring their 2015 run to issue #18 with "A Good Day's Work" — a title that, against this cover, carries just the right amount of grim promise.
