Product Description
The last time General Nikolai Alexandrovich Zakharov encountered Frank Castle, the two men were playing chicken with a dozen nuclear warheads over Moscow. Since then, well, let's just say Zakharov's not the type to forgive and forget. When a mutual enemy of Castle comes with the perfect plan to lure Frank out of his hole, Zakharvo is all ears. That man is Rawlins. His bait? His former wife and sometime Castle flame: O'Brien. Collects Punisher #37-42.

Ennis is starting to wrap up loose ends, Dec 21 2010
By danny boy "dbswongv" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Punisher Max - Volume 7: Ma of Stone (Paperback)
In the Punisher Max Series, what began in Vol 1 with the introduction of OBrien and in Vol 3 with General Zakharov and Rawlins is concluded in this issue. Ennis is starting to bring together various characters from earlier volumes (including Yorkie from Vol 2) into a cataclysmic finale here. The battleground is Afghanistan and somehow, it makes perfect sense to stage the final showdown here. This is an epic big budget Hollywood-type presentation, with a couple of military helicopters thrown in which reminded me of Sly Stallone on Rambo III.Artwork by Fernandez is the usual gritty perfect rendition of the Punisher's world. The ending seemed a little draggy. The death scene for OBrien occurred far too soon and removed from the final reckoning with Rawlins, with nothing much happening in between. Still a solid if predictable offering from Ennis and Fernandez.

Obvious..., Aug 31 2007
By Guy Smiley "Mr Fixit" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Punisher Max - Volume 7: Ma of Stone (Paperback)
If you review the ratings for the other Punisher MAX books you'll see that the lowest average is at least 4 stars. Garth Ennis has written this series and the Punisher in general so well that the gratuitous violence and periodic sex isn't even necessary. But it's fun. You will be conflicted about Frank. The stuff he does is so criminal, but he does this stuff to criminals or worse. So is what he does justified?This book is actually somewhat a sequel to Mother Russia so I'd recommend reading it first, but really there are other elements that come from other arcs. The intelligent traps, escapes, and political moves that Ennis endows Frank with are mind blowing. And each villain is more heinous than the last. Really you should just start where it begins ..."In the Begining" and finish when Mr. Ennis does. May that day be many years from now.

Continuing Garth Ennis' bloody take on the Punisher, May 8 2007
By N. Durham "Big Evil" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Punisher Max - Volume 7: Ma of Stone (Paperback)
Since Garth Ennis brought the Punisher to Marvel's MAX line, I can't get enough. His take on Frank "The Punisher" Castle is of a man posessed that has only one goal in his life: to punish criminals. Man of Stone, the seventh collected volume in Ennis' bloody and brutal run on the series, continues Ennis' take on the unstoppable killer of killers as Frank makes his way to Afghanistan in a hunt for the elusive Rawlins (from Mother Russia and Up is Down and Black is White), but he gets even more than he bargained for with Soviet war criminal General Zakharov pulling all the strings; and setting a trap for Frank that involves his occasional flame O'Brien. There's political intrigue, surprises, and shocking displays of violence and dark humor to be found as usual, and frequent Punisher artist Leandro Fernandez provides solid pencil work as well. Like Ennis' previous Punisher tales, Man of Stone is enjoyable and well paced, so if you've enjoyed Ennis' lengthy run on the series, chances are you'll dig Man of Stone too.
