Punisher

Punisher by Rick Remender Omnibus takes Frank Castle through Dark Reign, death and Franken-Castle, turning the Punisher into one of Marvel's strangest revenge stories.

Punisher MAX by Garth Ennis Omnibus Vol. 2 collects the later half of Ennis's MAX run, including the Barracuda material and closing one-shots, with a much bleaker crime-fiction focus than a conventional superhero book. A hard, adult-readers Punisher volume for collectors completing the Ennis MAX shelf.

Garth Ennis redefined the Punisher in 2004 by moving Frank Castle entirely outside the Marvel Universe. Under the MAX imprint, the series strips away superheroes and delivers raw, unflinching crime fiction. This first omnibus collects the opening chapters of what many consider the major Punisher run — brutal, literary, and uncompromising.

Punisher by Garth Ennis Omnibus collects the Marvel Knights era — the run that brought Frank Castle back from irrelevance and made him a star again. It opens with "Welcome Back, Frank," where the Punisher wages a one-man war on the Gnucci crime family, and runs through the whole black-comedy Marvel Knights series, mixing brutal action with a rogues' gallery of grotesque villains. Garth Ennis, reunited with his Preacher partner Steve Dillon, writes the definitive, character-defining Punisher — the run that set up his later, even grimmer MAX era. Note: this is the Marvel Knights run, distinct from Punisher MAX.

Punisher MAX by Aaron & Dillon Omnibus puts Frank Castle into a brutal MAX-world war with Kingpin, Bullseye and Elektra, where every victory costs him more than he has left.
