JIGSAW IS BACK! Frank Castle's most notorious foe, JIGSAW, is back - and this time, he's not launching all-out assaults or wars in the street!

Mar 25, 2026The Punisher #2 is a good second issue that builds off of the first and not rushing the story overall. Read Full Review

Mar 26, 2026Hostile Takeover The Punisher #2 is a solid issue that slows the pace down and takes its time deliving into just what is wrong with Frank Castle, while at the same time showing the next steps that Jigsaw is taking to achieve his goals. Time is spent with each of our leads that establishes their unique struggles, and the stage is set for their paths to start to cross. It will be interesting to see what sides they all end up on in the end. If Frank Castle can get his head screwed back on straight, I'll put my money on whatever side he's on. Read Full Review

Mar 25, 2026Call it a sophomore slump, but Punisher #2 is a lethargic step back. It does the necessary work of moving pieces into place, but it rarely feels urgent or rewarding in the moment. The issue leans heavily on setup, stretching simple beats across too many pages while holding back the kind of intensity fans expect from the character. There are glimpses of something stronger ahead, especially with Jigsaw circling and Frank’s condition in flux, but this chapter reads more like connective tissue than a story that stands on its own.

I like what they are doing with Jigsaw and how he's screwing with Tombstone. I am now wondering what Frank's ailment really is since the doctor said there was nothing wrong with his brain. Was he lying? Guess we will find out.
