The Punisher #22

Frank Castle looms large on Tim Bradstreet's cover for this third and final chapter of "Brotherhood," his skull emblem and leather jacket set against a collage of charged words — "War," "Murder," "Revenge," "Punishment" — that form a fitting backdrop for Marvel's most unrelenting vigilante. Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon bring their signature grit to this conclusion of the arc, and Bradstreet's moody, photorealistic portrait captures the weight that follows Castle everywhere he goes. A strong close to the storyline, rendered with the kind of quiet menace that defined this era of the title.
