The Punisher: Year One #2

In "Book Two: Post Mortem," Frank grapples with the aftermath of unimaginable loss, fighting not just the mob goons sent to finish him off in the hospital, but the growing emptiness within. As the police and a desperate, alcoholic Bugle reporter try to manipulate his grief for their own ends, Frank must confront the question of why he should keep going—before the line between justice and vengeance vanishes entirely. Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, with striking art by Dale Eaglesham and inks by Scott Koblish, this issue captures the raw, haunted edge of Frank's origin with unflinching precision. The cover, also by Eaglesham, mirrors the grim intensity of the story within.
