Issue Description

General Zakharov has returned to the scorched plains of Afghanistan with one thing in mind: Revenge on the man with whom he played chicken on the grandest scale. That man is Frank Castle -- a.k.a. the Punisher -- and he also knows a thing about resolve.

The mountains of Afghanistan. It's here that General Nikolai Alexandrovich Zakharov got his nickname: "Man of Stone." While bullets bounced off the rocks at his feet and hardened men scrambled for cover, Zakharov stood his ground. And what he did next -- what he did next has haunted the dreams of the mujahideen ever since. What he did next showed them the depths of his resolve. That was years ago. Now, General Zakharov has returned to these scorched plains with one thing in mind: Revenge on the man with whom he played chicken on the grandest scale. That man is Frank Castle -- a.k.a. the Punisher -- and he, too knows a thing about resolve.

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.
