People everywhere are excited and raving about Matthew Rosenberg and Szymon Kudranski’s highly acclaimed Punisher #1 Vol. 12 and I don’t blame them. Each page in the comic is chock full of extreme blood spilling violence done in the name of Frank Castle who goes back to the basics after the events of the Punisher War Machine storyline.
