PUNISHER MAX X-MAS
SPECIAL 2008 |
|
Written by JASON AARON
Penciled by ROLAND BOSCHI
Cover by CHRIS BACHALO
"AND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN"
It just wouldn't be Christmas without the Punisher, now would it? There's no
room at the inn for a mobster and his pregnant wife who are on the run from
rival gangsters, but lucky for them Frank Castle is in a giving mood. Though
keeping them alive won't be easy, what with three vicious gun-toting wise-guys
and a wacked-out pimp named Shepherd all hot on their trail. But then nobody
ever said Christmas miracles came easy, did they?
