This was a really good run by Greg Rucka. As always, he truly understood the characters and what drives them. Some great character work and lots of good moments throughout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Edmunson is doing a good job, but damn I wish Rucka had been ...
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2014

Greg Rucka’s run with PUNISHER is for me (and I think objectively) is possibly the definitive run for Frank Castle. The only argument I would entertain against that is Marvel canceling Rucka’s run so damn early into it. I remember reading Rucka being angry about the cancellation because he was meant to be on the title for a while. He clearly intended to be. And while that didn’t pan out, what remains is a lean and brutal classic revenge fantasy that acts as a summation of Castle’s appeal as well as adding the most important supporting character in Frank’s life since Ennis’ classic run (that conversely probably over stayed its welcome). I’m talking about Rachel Cole-Alves.

She just recently made a cameo in Nathan Edmunson’s Punisher series and it made me come back here and more or less want to pine for the old series. Edmunson is doing a good job, but damn I wish Rucka had been able to pursue it longer. i like everything about what he was doing. I loved the look of the skull. I loved the beard and eye damage. Castle got hurt maybe for the first time in his existence in comics. Like really hurt. There was a sense that he was stoppable after all, which made him all the more triumphant when he pulled the proverbial rabbit out of his hat -- (more on this in the next volume where he faces the Avengers).

4.0 out of 5 stars Not As Great As Volumes 1 & 2
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2013

Last volume, while Daredevil, Spiderman and the Punisher were fighting the ninjas of the Hand, Punisher Ally, Marine Rachel Cole- Alves made off with the Omega drive and gets right on the track of the people responsible for killing her Fiancé, family and friends during her wedding reception in which she was the only survivor.

I gave this book four stars because although a great continuation of a great run by Mr. Rucka, it is the weakest story of all three volumes.

Rachel makes the Punished close to human at times. The art does that ; he doesn't speak except to give orders. I am interested to see where this goes. Good on everything.

Since I've started to read the Punisher by Greg Rucka I would rate each volume as so...Volume 1 - 4.4/5 Volume 2 - 3.7/5 and this being Volume 3 - 4.7/5 this being the best of the 3 so far in my opinion! Picks up right where volume 2 left off. Getting just a little more personal with some particular characters believe it or not. Also, has an ending that has me wandering how the next volume will pick up all the drama! A great buy!

The volume that saw Marvel plan to cancel the Punisher's new series prematurely despite it's superior wrtining and artwork, this is the penultimate volume of Punisher and an absolute epic. As Cole-Alves begins to lose focus over her desire for revenge, Frank is sure to keep her in check as the two make more daring attacks on the elite of crime. But the final strike spills over into the public and innocents are butchered by a criminal mastermind gone insane. A controversial, intelligent, thought provoking read. War Zone is the final instalment.

4.0 out of 5 stars 「パニッシャー」という名の偶像
Reviewed in Japan on September 10, 2016
Verified Purchase
このシリーズは「FEAR IT SELF」クロスオーバーを起点にリニュアールされた
「パニッシャー」の新タイトルであり、TPBタイトルに冠されてるように、
DCコミックスの「バットマン」関連で鳴らしたグレッグ・ルッカが
メインライターとなっているのがセールスポイントのシリーズである。

最初にこのタイトルを買ったのはカヴァーに“女パニッシャー”が
描かれているからであって、てっきりレディ・パニッシャー＝リン・マイケルズが
復活したのかと思ったが、そうではなかった。

しかし、ルッカの創り出した「レイチェル・コール」を取り巻くエピソードは
『SUICIDE LUN』(1994年)のリメイク要素が伺える。
特定の犯罪組織との三つ巴、四つ巴の戦い、女パニッシャーというべき存在の設定の他に、
他者から評価した“パニッシャー”像という視点が挙げられる。
パニッシャー自身はほとんど語らず、警察や報道、或いは同業者に語らせるというスタイルだ。

その為にパニッシャーを崇拝しているボルト刑事、パニッシャーを社会の害悪としながら
“パニッシャーの流儀”を誰よりも理解しているオスカー・クレモンス刑事、
パニッシャーを師と仰ぐ元軍人のレイチェル・コールなど、
パニッシャーの危険人物としての側面、ヒーローとしての側面の両方で上手く距離感を表して、
多面的な人物像が浮かび上がらせている。
ちなみにルッカの描くパニッシャーは髭を蓄え、父性ようなものを感じさせるな。

対する「エクスチェンジ」は新興である事を逆手にとって、既存の秘密組織脱退者で
作れらた組織という設定が面白い。首領格のクリス・ポールセンは元「シールド」の隊員、
ステファニー・グレードは元「A.I.M.」のマッドサイエンティストとなっている。
「SPIDER-MAN」関連タイトルに登場するカーリー・クーパー捜査官、
「デイリー・ビューグル」の記者ノラ・ウィンター、フィル・ユーリックも登場。
ノラ・ウィンターの方はレイチェル・コールの理解者として結構重要な役柄だったり。

終焉で人々の為に真実を明らかにしようとするノラ、オスカー刑事、レイチェルの三竦み、
そして全てを見透かしていたようなパニッシャーの“裁き”は深い余韻を残す。
“静と動”を上手く紡いだ本作は、三度四度と繰り返し読むに堪える味わいあるエピソードであった。

Greg Rucka captured the character perfectly! I even like it better than Ennis. It's really sad this series got cancelled, with only War Zone miniseries to be released in trade.

This is highly recommended, there is even non-Punisher fans that like this run.
