Having arrived rather late in the world of comics, and in my attempt to read every Punisher ever written, I happened upon the comics where he becomes an angel. Has anyone read them? Does anyone know what was going on at the time to cause such a story arc? I just got them and I am scratching my head in bewilderment.
Punisher as an angel

I would recommend you read Punisher Max by Garth Ennis. The series is amazing. There are 10 trades and 3 one shots.

I could not put down volume 1. If you like volume 1, then pick up volume 4 as well because the two stories are connected. I actually bought the entire series after reading volume 1. I cannot believe this series was cancelled.
Do you mean the arc when he had green eyes and guns that he conjured up? I didn't read it, but I was going to avoid Franken-Punisher , but some one insisted I read it, man was it good. So maybe the angel punisher wasn't to shabby in some peoples opinion.
Wow, this is so fun!! I love talking Punisher, and never get to!! I have read all Ennis Punishers, including Punisher Max. Garth rules, and can do no wrong in my humble opinion. But thanks so much for listing them all! I have four single issues of Punisher as an avenging angel, with glowing red eyes and a glowing red symbol on his forehead. So far I have read the first two. Issue one called The Harvest wasn't nearly as bad as I anticipated, and it was also way more violent than I thought it was going to be. Issue 2 (The Mark of Cain) wasn't as good. But I must complete the arc as I must read everything Punisher!!! I think its hilarious that the story was just ignored completely after this arc was completed!! Ha ha--I wonder who the next writer was after this arc. I wonder if they did this whole avenging angel thing because some other comic was super popular at the time and they wanted to cash in on it, like a horror/supernatural/angels v demons comic. I have two collected issues of Rucka's Punisher but haven't started them yet, so shame on me. I had no idea he did a War Zone miniseries as well--I think I was confused. Is a new miniseries of Punisher coming out in January? I read some Rucka Elektra and was kind of on the fence about it, but am excited to read his Punisher.
@Liz_Lixx: Yes a new series called Punisher: Nightmare well come out sometimes in January.
