Issue Description

With one unspeakable act, Nicky Cavella will go right to the top of Frank's to-do list, and there's nowhere he'd rather be.

In this second installment of Up is Down, Black is White, we learn much more about the defiler of the Castle grave site, Nicolas Covella. We learn he killed most of his family, had an incestuous relationship with his aunt, and eventually killed his aunt, all of this on his way to taking over as the head of his family, and his way to insanity. Nicolas's rise to his position of power is also followed via flashbacks.

Oddly enough, all we see of The Punisher in this issue is a news picture.

Volume Description

This series is part of the MAX comics imprint and does not feature the 616 reality or "Main Marvel Universe" Punisher. It was critically acclaimed, cited for its realistic, uncompromising stories. Ennis left the title late in 2008, after writing sixty issues for the book and finishing his eight year run of writing The Punisher comics. It was renamed as Punisher: Frank Castle with issue 66 to avoid confusion with Marvel's new earth 616 or "Main Marvel Universe" Punisher Volume 5 series.
