Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe

In this darkly satirical one-shot from 2001, writer Garth Ennis and artist Doug Braithwaite present a grim "what if?" scenario where the Punisher, pushed past his breaking point, turns his one-man war on crime into a global slaughter of Marvel's superhuman population. Published by Panini Deutschland, this standalone issue was later joined by a German-language adaptation from Frank Borsch, cementing its cult status as a brutal, no-holds-barred exploration of the Punisher's uncompromising ethos. It matters as a defining example of the "Marvel Universe" alternate-reality genre, stripping away superheroic idealism to its bleakest conclusion.
