The Punisher Magazine #9

In "Castle Technique," the Punisher takes a dangerous detour when he intercepts a prison break meant for a death row inmate—only to find himself outmaneuvered by the inmate’s unstable girlfriend. With the stakes rising and a trail of violence spreading across the desert, the Punisher must survive a relentless hunt from a woman who’s already proven she’ll kill anyone to get what she wants.

In "Sacrifice Play," The Punisher, recovering from past wounds, teams up with a pair of prison guards to stop Lydia Spotto and the violent Samson Family from freeing their deranged leader during a high-stakes prison transport. As the chaos unfolds, Ortiz faces an impossible choice—between a trigger-happy assailant and the approaching police—and makes a final, desperate move that changes everything.
