Punisher / Painkiller Jane

In this one-shot from 2001, Marvel pits two of its most violent anti-heroes against each other. Garth Ennis scripts an uneasy encounter between the Punisher and Painkiller Jane, with gritty art by Dave Ross and a striking cover by Joe Jusko. It's a brutal, no-holds-barred team-up that showcases the publisher's willingness to explore darker corners of its universe during the early 2000s.
