Punisher Max: Untold Tales

In 2012, Marvel’s Punisher Max line expanded with this single-issue done-in-one by writer Jason Starr and artist Roland Boschi. Stripping the character back to his grim, street-level roots, it offers a tight, self-contained crime story that fits the mature-readers, hyper-violent tone of the MAX imprint. A lean, focused piece of work, it stands as a forgotten but effective snapshot of the Punisher operating in a world without easy answers.
