This story is quite interesting, to be perfectly honest, but it goes nowhere. Then it is followed by an unrelated ending story, and then it's followed by „Kitchen Irish”, a gory story about some Irish terrorists and other similar things.

While a little hard to feel invested with the complete absence of Frank, Ennis makes up for it with the arc right after. The only arc to make me shed a tear so far.

In 2008 Ennis ended his five-year run on Punisher MAX to debut a new Marvel title, War Is Hell: The First Flight of the Phantom Eagle. Writer Steven Grant describes The Punisher as a twisted existentialist icon. Someone who knows god is not real and that death is just a void of nothingness forever, but pursues their goals in life anyway. Garth Ennis exemplifies this idea perfectly in #13-30 of his ‘Punisher Max’ run. That comes as no surprise to anyone that’s read ‘Preacher’ and ‘The Boys’, as Ennis is quite obviously a big believer in Kierkegaard’s philosophy.

Gone are the (spare and simple) moments that make you think, discarded for more traditional comic book adventures and slaughter. It's still fun to read if you like action, but that's about it.

After the end of Hitman, Ennis was lured to Marvel Comics with the promise from Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada that he could write The Punisher as long as he cared to. Instead of largely comical tone of these issues, he decided to make a much more serious series, re-launched under Marvel's MAX imprint.

The Punisher: The Complete Colllection Vol. 4 collects issues The Punisher 50-60, Barracuda Max 1-5, The Punisher: Tyger, The Punisher: The Cell, and The Punisher: The End written by Garth Ennis and art by Goran Parlov, Howard Chaykin, John Severin, Lewis LaRosa, and Richard Corben. This Volume is has immense greatness, but the filler at the end was a let down. Whatever though... If you’ve made it this far, it’s essential. Brothers, David (2010-12-28).

The Punisher Complete collection is a must read for any Punisher fan. It is a collection of the delightfully vulgar and violent Garth Ennis run on the Punisher. I've been wanting to read good Punisher stories before the Marvel series premieres this month, and this Garth Ennis run with the character is one of the most well-received. First, Ennis opens with Born, the tragic and haunting miniseries that gives us a peek at Frank's final Vietnam days, showing us that there might've been something within Frank already, even before the Mob killed his family; demons in his nature that were simply simply let loose after personal tragedy. It's a near masterpiece. In the next two stories in this first volume, Ennis does a great job here at resetting the Punisher world. He focuses more on the Punisher as a symbol and legend. Frank Castle has been punishing for over 20 years and has built up a bit of a reputation, and whether it's dealing with a CIA conspiracy or Irish gangs in Hell's Kitchen, we see Frank Castle mostly through the supporting characters' eyes.

Finally we get “Kitchen Irish” which more than makes up for any of the previous tale’s shortcomings. It's a lovely tale of criminal rivalry and a dead man’s millions. You will probably see the ending coming a mile away, but it's still an entertaining ride.PUNISHERMAX #6". Comic Book Roundup. Archived from the original on 2017-08-12 . Retrieved 2017-07-08.
