Summary: The Punisher delivers
Comment: The Punisher, in stark contrast, to one reviewer, is not a one dimensional character. Because Frank Castle has lost everything, we want to know what happens to this person. It's what has kept us reading through Daredevil, Spider-man, Batman, Superman, and Hellboy. And Frank castle is more of a superhero than any of the before mentioned, because he wages a war on crime, not on supervillans but on crime itself. It's amazing that after 20+ years ,this phenomial character has survived the mafia, Tombstone, and the everlasting battle by censorship to put Frank castle in an early grave...

Summary: Just wait for the movie
Comment: First off, I've been a Punisher fan for years. I bought this book the first day it hit the shelves and read it in one night. I was pleased with the updated version of the Punisher myth. The author has done a good job modernizing and fleshing out the story. The book was well written and fast paced. However, it starts out a little slow and lacks any real character development. One thing that bothered me was the complete lack of character descriptions. Overall, the book had sort of a rushed feel, like they just wanted to get it on the shelves before the movie. I really woundn't recommend this book unless your a diehard fan.

MAKE THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE CRIME.
FBI agent Frank Castle’s final case ends with a literal bang, when a wannabe weapons smuggler is gunned down during a sting operation. But the dead man isn’t just any punk. He’s the son of Howard Saint, the powerful Florida tycoon whose hot-spot nightclub has made him famous, and whose multimillion-dollar money-laundering business has made him as rich—and as ruthless—as any of his gangster clients.
Saint wants payback—with interest—for his boy’s death. And he gets it, by orchestrating a massacre that claims the lives of Frank Castle’s beloved wife and son—and almost kills Castle. But almost doesn’t count. Now Frank Castle—ex–FBI agent, ex–Special Forces commando, ex-husband and father—is canceling his retirement and starting a new career. One that begins with teaching Howard Saint the ultimate lesson: No evil deed goes unpunished.
