PunisherMax #11
by Jason Aaron (w), Steve Dillon and Dave Johnson (a)
Marvel Comics

Liz says: This is the best Punisher series since Garth Ennis departed from his ongoing run several years ago, if not the best Marvel title on the shelf. Jason Aaron and Steve Dillon just get it exactly right. Each character is written note-perfect but with a twist and a get a flourish specific to this book, and it just seems to get better and better. In this issue, the almighty smackdown between Frank Castle and Bullseye commences with gruesome stomach-turning violence, but the moment that stops you cold comes in the form of a whisper. If you’re a Punisher fan, read this book. If you’re not a Punisher fan, read this book – you will be.
