Aiming to destabilize (heh!) Punisher and send him on the rampage, mobsters desecrate the grave of Castle's family. This of course triggers the Punisher but in a way that mobster did not anticipate.
Punisher is shown pretty good here. Man that feels like is in a very bad dream but still more than willing to proceed with his vendetta against the organized crime. Art is excellent and scenes of carnage left in wake of Punishers actions is truly stuff of nightmares.
What put me off a bit is the way characters speak - besides Castle they all curse and seem generally incapable of completing a single sentence without uttering some curse or other. It just seems exaggerated and as such it kinda ruins it for me (and I am not stranger to cursing mind you :)). They just seem unprofessional and kind of a .... ridiculous.
Recommended to fans of action comics and of course Punisher.

Absolutely, brutally brilliant. What a comics!
Frank is, by far, my favourite comic character of all time. He is the most tragic one as well. Seeking revenge he'll never have, trying to find his piece in punishment. He can't though, which is shown in #22. He tries to close his eyes but the only thing he sees is burnin', murderin' and slayin', blood all over the world and his family sayin' 'We are still dead, Frank'.
'That's what I get for resting my eyes' he says.
Nothing summarize The Punisher better.
Phenomenal series. Just re-read it after 10 or so years and I'm just amazed with everything: the plot, characters, drawing. One of the best Punisher's out there, folks!
