   Face and the Condor gang are on the run. Unfortunately the DEA are on their trails. More unfortunately, so is the Punisher. He's on the road and stops at a seedy motel, renting a room and laying his arsenal on the bed.
   Thanks to Olaf, Frank gets a tip on the gangs next drop. Slowly but surely he picks off every last one of them until it's just Face left. He takes the EMC and transforms into a brutal killing machine. Face counters every move the Punisher has, from bullets to pistol whippings. He finally steels a car from the scene of the battle and takes off, leaving a menacing Frank Castle standing alone with corpses and contemplating his next move.
   Back in Vermont at what I assume is either the endgame for EMC or close to it, some of the Condor thugs make plans to hide the massive stash of the drug they have, with nefarious ways to do it. They know the Punisher is on his way, and this time they'll be ready. Sadly one of the thugs daughters, Juniper, appears furnished with a suicide vest. Will they know no decency in trying to stop the Punisher? Only one way to find out - in issue #3.
   Good, short, and to the point. While the artwork appears to be rushed, and this is no means Steve Dillon's best work (may he rest in peace). But the story makes up for it. I give it an 8/10.
