Hes not out for redemption in any way, he just does what he does, said Ennis, He doesnt worry about the super hero code of ethics. Hes a massive thug who machine-guns people, then machine-guns some more, then hes 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 wont be just another good book.
