Product Description
The bestselling saga that defined one of the Marvel Universe's most unique characters! Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon deliver a wild ride of innovative chaos, reinstating the Punisher as an unstoppable force dispensing his vigilante justice on the streets of New York City. But not everyone is happy to see him return: Two unlucky cops draw the unenviable task of capturing him, while the ruthless Ma Gnucci and her gang will stop at nothing to see him dead. The Punisher also must contend with nosy neighbors and the rise of three copycats - the Holy, Elite, and Mr. Payback - who want him to join their crime-cleansing force. Collecting Punisher (2000) #1-12.

 AWESOME! February 16, 2009

This story line was awesome! Yeah, I know it is not the MAX series, but it is just as good! Ennis writes the punisher like no one else. The art work is top notch and the story line is second to none. I am a huge fan of the MAX series and I place this right up there with it. Welcome back Frank!

I picked this book up a couple weeks back, intrigued that this storyline was the basis for the 2004 movie. The art is decent in its own right, though I think it would be hard to make gunfire and explosions breathtaking to look at. Ennis does a great job in his writing, as usual, and Frank is as diehard as ever about his duties.
Those who might read this book for similarities to the movie will find much to be happy about. The origin of the Punisher is not nearly as prevalent (there are other comics for that) but the punishing is clever and enjoyable.
The book itself is definitely up to Marvel Premiere standards. Beneath the dust cover lies the traditional sturdy black casing with the Punisher logo in silver.
All in all, this is a good story for Punisher fans as well as those who haven't yet jumped onto the series. It doesn't explain all of the backstory, but Welcome Back Frank gets right down to the dirty work that makes Castle fans happy.
Great Intro to the Punisher series February 23, 2009

I really enjoyed this book when it first came out a few years back. On continual rereading the stories, I can still appreciate the funny touches in the dialogue and plot by Ennis which is nicely complemented by Dillon's drawings. However,there are dull and trite moments such as the 3 copycat villains which do nothing to advance the plot. Ennis is really good for the Punisher but the pencils of Dillon do not do enough to portray the dark and seamy world of the Punisher.
FYI, NO BONUS ISSUES January 18, 2010
Matt
Just an FYI, this collection does NOT include the rare one-shot "punisher kills the marvel universe", as some reviewers have stated. Maybe an earlier edition did, but the one I just received does not. Unfortunately that bonus comic was the main reason I bought this, but I can't fault the collection. It's still a great punisher maxi-series.
