Ultimate Avengers #12

In "Crime and Punishment Part 6 of 6," the clash between two Ghost Riders reaches its fevered peak inside a burning church, where their fates hang in the balance. With the Punisher making a brutal choice that leaves one Rider broken and the other free, the line between justice and vengeance blurs as he escapes with help from Clint, heading back to Russia to settle a score with the Red Hammer. Written by Mark Millar and brought to life by Leinil Francis Yu with inks by Gerry Alanguilan and a team of skilled hands, the issue closes a high-stakes arc with a haunting intensity. The cover, by Leinil Francis Yu and Gerry Alanguilan, captures the moment’s raw, fiery tension.
