    Part 1: Enemy Close last edited by fesak on 04/26/22 11:59AM View full history

    A FIVE-PART, FIVE WEEK PUNISHER EVENT!

    A Special Forces soldier is injured and his family killed in the midst of a mob execution in Central Park, but this isn't Frank Castle. This time it's a young soldier named JAKE NIMAN, but the familiar story puts Frank on the path of punishment!

    As Jake Niman heals from his wounds, why is he growing strangely stronger?

    And who is the mysterious Johnny Nightmare?

    Bullets fly, anarchy reigns, allies become enemies, the Punisher becomes the punished, and no one is safe!!!

    Punishment For All My Sins 0

    I didn't expect much for this going in. Marvel always does a weekly series on the 5 week months. Some are pretty good (AVX Consequences) some are not (Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe).But judging from this first issue, unless the series nose dives fast, this is going to set the standard for the "Weekly Mini-Series".A man and his family is gunned down in the park. Eerily similar to what happened to Frank Castle's family. Frank Castle refers to himself as a "monster that kills monsters" and thi...

    Punisher: Nightmare is a Punisher story. If you've read enough Punisher, seen a movie or two, or remember the Punisher episode of the Spider-man animated series in the '90s, then you know what that means.

    WRITING: As a Punisher fan for many years, this is the first contact with the character of Scott M. Gimple and i can say that for the first issue of this mini series his writing is quite nice. Gimple seems to have opted for the inner monologues of Frank Castle which in my opinion is very good to see again in a comic book.
