Wolverine / The Punisher

A two-issue crossover from Panini Deutschland, this 2000 miniseries brings together the clawed mutant Wolverine and the gun-toting vigilante the Punisher. While the specifics of their encounter are not detailed, the premise pits two of Marvel's most brutal anti-heroes against each other in a clash of methods and morals. A compact, high-concept team-up from the publisher's German line, it's a snapshot of the era's fascination with pitting dark, violent characters against one another.
