Punisher Max by Garth Ennis Omnibus Vol. 1

Hard-hitting Punisher tales by one of Frank Castle's signature writers! But do the Punisher's origins trace back even further than the fateful day in the park when he lost his family? In 1971 Vietnam, with his platoon under attack, Captain Castle must make a grim choice. And in the modern day, Punisher's old partner Microchip resurfaces with a startling offer! Nick Fury has a proposition, too - a dangerous mission involving a Siberian nuclear missile silo and a lethal retrovirus. But Castle's actions set off a chain reaction that will bring him into confl ict with a ruthless Russian general - and take the world to the brink of war. Plus, mobster Nicky Cavella returns to plague the Punisher - and a wave of violence rocks New York to its core!
