Punisher Annual #1 Review

Written by: Karla Pacheco Art by: Andy Gorham and Andy Owens, and Szymon Kudranski Colours by: Matt Milla, and Erick Arciniega Letters by: VC’s Cory Petit Annuals are funny things.

Marvel has deliberately embraced that opportunity this summer with a number … Continue reading Punisher Annual #1 Review
