Dark Reign: The List - The Punisher Reviewed, Frank Falls To Pieces

If you've ever read the Punisher, you'll want to see what happens here.

I thought I was going to take a week off of reviewing 'The List' books but this one was just begging to be reviewed.  If you thought these were simply meaningless tie-ins for Dark Reign, think again.  If you've ever read a Punisher book, you'll want to see what happens here.
 

  
You may have heard that things don't go too great for the Punisher.  What I like about this is we're seeing that the 'good guys' don't always win.  I'm not one to be rooting for Norman but it makes sense that he should come out on top some of the time.  He literally has an army at his disposal.  Things are not going to be the same for the Punisher after this.  
 
Rick Remender has been doing a great job with the Punisher lately.  I'm not sure if this direction was all his idea or if editorial put him on it but it is going to be interesting to see where this goes.  John Romita Jr gets to cut loose with his art here as he does on Kick-Ass.  Pick up this book if you're following Dark Reign or if you're curious to see what's left of Frank after his fight with Daken.  This is literally going to change the direction of his character.
