So I started reading this series from issue #1, and I have to say its been one of favorites from Dark Reign. Punisher shows you the dark dark side of the world. Sure some others deal with having to deal with Osborn running the show, but Punisher gets down and does the work other heroes don't want to do.

So in last issue, The Hood is given the task of tracking down Punisher and dealing with him. So last issue we were left with Punisher cornered by the Hood's men with no apparent way out. Taking action though, Punisher managed to fight his way through all of the hood's men. The Hood then sends in the Grizzly to find the one who is helping Punisher and kill him. With help from the Hood's "Hacker" they manage to find the Henry's house. But instead of finding anybody, Grizzly finds a trap and is killed in an explosion.

Now that the Hood knows who Henry is, the Punisher is going to have to take the fight to him. Suit up with a bunch of old equipment the Avengers used to use, Punisher get ready for the fight against Hood. Back at the Hood's base, his hacker is revealed to be non-other than Microchip! Microchip tells Hood that he is only working for him so that he can see his son again.

Overall the issue isn't that bad. Pretty basic, but the reveal at the end was very nice. Here's the hightlights:

Punisher - He seems to be using more high tech gear than his basic guns in this series. He is still a shoot kill ask questions later, but with the upgrade gear he is more dangerous then ever.
Microchip - Yup! He is back. But how? Did Hood bring him back with the powers of Dormammu? Why would he betray Punisher? He mentioned seeing his son. I actually didn't know Microchip had a son. Is this new?

Next issue should give us the show down between Punisher and Hood. Should be a good show, I also can't wait to see Punisher's reaction to Microchip. Will he kick the new guy to the curb for his old ally? I'm also going to leave you guys with last image...good stuff:
