Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe

In 1995, Marvel unleashed a dark, standalone one-shot from writer Garth Ennis and artist Dougie Braithwaite that reimagines the Punisher as a relentless force of nature. After a tragedy strikes too close to home, Frank Castle wages a brutal, one-man war against every superhero and villain in the Marvel Universe, leaving no one standing. This grim Elseworlds tale is a defining early example of Ennis's signature take on the character—uncompromising, violent, and darkly satirical—and remains a cult touchstone for fans of the Punisher's most extreme possibilities.
