Punisher vol 3 (1995-1997) is the epitome of everything I dislike in Western comic books.Background. Punisher volume 2 ended with the story arc "Countdown" that was also stretched across Punisher War Zone and Punisher War Journal. It ended with Punisher being captured by S.H.I.E.L.D.Then, he has the "Over the Edge" arc starting with Double Edge: Alpha (1995) #1 and ending with Double Edge: Omega (1995) #1. Long story short, Punisher is brainwashed into killing Nick Fury, and he ultimately does it.Then, we have Punisher vol 3. So, it is not after vol 2, but after a story arc that was not part of vol 2.Vol 3 starts with the execution of Punisher in the electric chair. But it was staged. A mafia leader wants Punisher to take his role. Punisher agrees.OK. I thought this was going to be the whole story (all 18 issues). But this ended after around 2/3 of the story. The mafia family was finished. Then we have a few issues related to the Onslaught event (so you need to read something not related to Punisher). Then we have another mutant-related story arc about the Mutant Liberation Front. Then the last two issues are about a thought-to-be-dead Punisher who has lost his memories.

Punisher Vol. 3 (1995-1997) is a perfect example of everything that makes 90s Western comic books so dynamic and unpredictable.**Background:**Punisher Volume 2 wrapped up with the epic "Countdown" story arc, which beautifully interconnected *Punisher War Zone* and *Punisher War Journal*, ending with the Punisher being captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. From there, we got the thrilling "Over the Edge" crossover event—spanning from *Double Edge: Alpha (1995) #1* to *Double Edge: Omega (1995) #1*—where a brainwashed Punisher shockingly manages to take out Nick Fury. Because of this massive setup, Vol. 3 actually rewards readers by launching directly out of this major universe event rather than just a standard continuation of Vol. 2.**Vol. 3:**The new volume kicks off with an incredible hook: the Punisher faces the electric chair, but it turns out to be a staged execution because a mafia leader wants Frank to take over his crime family. Frank actually agrees!While you might expect this awesome premise to stretch out over all 18 issues, the writers keep things moving fast by wrapping up the mob storyline around the two-thirds mark. From there, the book treats you to a variety of storytelling styles. We get a few issues that tie directly into the massive *Onslaught* event, giving readers a fun excuse to dive into the broader Marvel universe. Then, the book shifts gears into an exciting mutant-related arc featuring the Mutant Liberation Front. Finally, the run wraps up with a classic suspense trope: the last two issues follow a thought-to-be-dead Punisher who has lost his memories.
