The Punisher #18

In "Face Off," the Punisher teams up with Microchip and Vernon for a high-stakes infiltration of the Kingpin’s tower, but tensions flare when a desperate hacker named Jeremy seeks to defect—only to be murdered by his rival, George, before the meet can happen. With the Kingpin’s empire on the line and trust in short supply, the trio must navigate a deadly game of betrayal, where survival depends on a fragile alliance. Written by Mike Baron and illustrated by Whilce Portacio, with inks by Scott Williams, colors by John Wellington, and letters by Ken Bruzenak, the cover by Portacio and Williams captures the issue’s tense, shadowed atmosphere.
