Punisher MAX Get Castle #1 (One-Shot)

Of all th Punisher titles--one-shots and series--this one-shot turn by writer Rob Williams and Laurence Campebell (the one who did the artwork during Garth Ennis' run) is the one closest in tone, manner and development to the great days with Ennis, I think. In addition to capturing the same haunting tone and diving into the same intriguing subject matter of Ennis' work, Williams uses a plot point from Ennis' run as a jumping off point. A welcome treat to those Punisher MAX fans that have been pining for a return to the glory days of the series. Perhaps the best comic you shall have read in a long time, I daresay.

Barracuda murdered Frank Castle’s old friend Yorkie, but death’s not going to stop him calling in one last favor. Across the Atlantic on a bleak Welsh mountain range, Yorkie’s old S.A.S. squadron have come home from Afghanistan with a little something extra, and Yorkie’s son is taking his life into his hands by spying on the deadliest soldiers in the world. This is where the S.A.S. put their new recruits through hell -- the perfect place for Frank’s unique brand of vengeance. But is he the hunter or the hunted?
