Setup & reading order
- After Ennis’s core Punisher MAX run
Read Aaron and Dillon’s PunisherMAX #1–22 as its own finite MAX interpretation; Ennis’s later stories need not be squared with this ending.
Optional context & path

Things to know
- The treatment of Frank’s family and the relentless nihilism are divisive; this is a deliberate MAX exception, not a prerequisite for Earth-616 Punisher.
