He's not out for redemption in any way, he just does what he does," said Ennis, "He doesn't worry about the super hero code of ethics. He's a massive thug who machine-guns people, then machine-guns some more, then he's got an hour free so he goes to find some drug dealers and machine-guns them." ? THE BUZZ: Out of all the comic books coming out next year, Wizard chose PUNISHER as Book Of The Year and said: "Trust us, PUNISHER won't be just another good book. It'll blow the competition away."
