This was one of the better volumes in the Civil War story arc, I thought. I really liked the artwork, and the Punisher is an interesting character.
I am not a huge fan of the Punisher in the first place, but his unique position and role in the Civil War I thought would be interesting.
Honestly, this was pretty disappointing. It doesn't really tell much of a story of the Punisher's actions, you catch snippets here and there that feel disjointed and thrown in.
The Punisher does a lot of frankly pointless internal monologue. I think it is supposed to make him brooding and dark, but all it does it create a lot of text that could be shortened or shown through action.
After reading this all I could conclude is that the Punisher did very little in the Civil War, but likes Captain America.

I enjoyed Fraction's take on the Punisher. This ties in loosely to rest of Civil War, but the connections make sense and it largely holds up as a separate story. I dug the art style, too. The last issue with Stilt-Man's wake is especially fun. It was drawn by Mike Deodato whose current art style is my least favorite in Marveldom, but his older style as seen here works for me.
Wasn't as good as I remembered. I had to kick it down to a 3 star rating...
An interesting [b:Civil War|91714|Civil War (Marvel Comics)|Mark Millar|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1240064525s/91714.jpg|577888] tie-in that elaborates how the Punisher got in with Captain America, got his superspy suit, and got kicked out of the anti-registration heroes. I like this iteration of the Punisher as a normal guy, only mad and with lots of guns, that goes after supervillains. Stilt Man totally has it coming.
You can make me read a book about the Punisher, but you can't make me like it.
Frank Castle seems to be in a D/s relationship with Captain America that Cap doesn't actually know about. This is probably the most interesting storyline that could theoretically be written and still have the Punisher in it.

A travesty! The Punisher should star far from the tights wearing super crowd. He isn’t their kind and they aren’t his. I thought this was awful and a terrible thing to do to one of Marvels best loved characters.

My first (and probably) last Punisher comic. It was fine, but I'm not the audience for this, but I am glad for extra depth on Civil War
War Journal was fun but I prefer the Ennis Punisher Max series.
