In "Circle of Blood Chapter Two: Back to the War," the Punisher finds himself caught in a deadly game where impostors wearing his likeness are executing mobsters—leaving innocent lives in the crossfire. Written by Steven Grant and brought to life by Mike Zeck’s gritty art and John Beatty’s sharp inks, this 1989 issue deepens the conflict with a relentless pace and moral complexity. Steve Rude’s cover captures the tension perfectly, showing the Punisher at the center of a storm he didn’t create.
