perfect ending - this is what punisher is supposed to be, not fucking government conspiracies, not fucking relationship bullshit, not fucking Frank going after faceless PMCs... just detestable fucks getting their comeuppance.
Aww, it was just getting good. Thanks though man, this is one of my favorite comics, and I normally don't like the Punisher.

Anybody wanna finish this arc for OP? The digitals shouldn't be too hard to find.

Don't mean to interrupt but what's the story behind the MAX COMICS label? This storytime is actually the first I've heard of it. 'Course some of this art is making me think there's a good reason for that.
Ian Perry
Marvel's "Mature" label. Punisher here is in an alt universe, so no need to worry about the usual Punisher problem of "Why hasn't anyone just hired a brick supervillain to literally splatter the fucking guy" or similar shit.

i figure this is good place to ask Why has Micro turned on Frank? i've been reading some of the older issues and they were (mostly) fine with each other.

Pls answer

This is a separate continuity.
ACTUAL SPOILER ABOUT THE MAIN UNIVERSE CONTINUITY THAT YOU WANT TO AVOID IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON READING THROUGH THE OLD ISSUES OF THE PUNISHER: Microchip was dead by then in the main universe anyway.
Jordan Lewis
too much talking
Oliver Lopez
this one is still my favorite
Michael Morris
damn, so thats why he stopped showing up. i feel like a kid seeing a dead dog and wondering why is it sleeping so much.

Thanks, OP.

I think that in this comic there's not much more to it beyond "people change," and especially people tend to change when they're constantly exposed to dangerous and stressful situations.
Ennis has that kind of effect on people. I've very rarely liked the Punisher as written by other writers, but Ennis' Punisher books are some of my favorites.
I think that at the time Marvel was just kind of hoping to copy DC's success with Vertigo. I'd say the difference is that Vertigo was fondly remembered for being weird with some clever writing, not just for being "adult." Most of Marvel's MAX books focused on the edginess without putting interesting ideas or good execution into it.
Kevin Torres
Ennis never explained why the MAX version did, and kind of just ignored Micro's existence in subsequent arcs.
Mainline Micro was convinced that Frank was, more or less, losing his humanity and was going to end up going too far. There was also the implication that he wanted a Punisher that he could control, which is why after imprisoning Frank he started trying to mold a new one.
