We can all argue about whether Garth Ennis’ Punisher MAX was canon, and those questions continue here. I’m covering it nevertheless, despite this being an Earth-616 Universe blog.
This is a fairly straightforward attempt to tell a Garth Ennis story. Punisher goes to Mexico to hunt down a gang who kidnaps women, rents them out to be violently raped and abused, and then drops them back in the towns from where they were taken.
Enter Punisher who engages in all kinds of fun torture.
But it’s okay because it’s all in the name of justice.
Yeah, it’s hardcore evil sh!t. Punisher takes care of it. But it turns out to be a trap set by Jigsaw.
Punisher kills him. So, yeah, this is NOT canon. It’s also not that interesting and not that good. But not terrible, either. Garth Ennis has moved on. If you were completely addicted to his take on Punisher, like me, this story might be enough to help you withdraw safely.
