Product Description:
It's wall-to-wall David Lapham (Stray Bullets) as the Eisner Award winner and indie sensation writes, pencils and inks two of Marvel's biggest icons! Daredevil and the Punisher vie for the soul of Hell's Kitchen as half the East Coast's underworld - in chaos since Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of Crime, was deposed - scramble for a shot at the big chair. And as the city descends into chaos - as murder and intimidation become the staples of the day - Daredevil and the Punisher each seek to restore order in their own unique way. For Daredevil - who's anointed himself the new "Kingpin" of the city - this means dispensing justice at the end of a billy club. But for the Punisher, justice at the end of a billy club isn't justice at all. For the Punisher, justice for these animals is at the end of a shotgun. Featuring more Marvel villains than you can shake a stick at - including Hammerhead and the return of the nefarious... Jackal! Collects Daredevil Vs. Punisher #1-6.

The current and separate Daredevil and Punisher comics are enjoying unparallel success and have established the personae and motive of both characters. Thus one comes into this book with this sort of expectations.
In this comic, the Punisher, given his more violent methodology always comes off as the cynical world-wise veteran of a thousand killings and Daredevil is depicted as the clinically staid (read that as boring) upholder of pseudo-vigilante justice, taking down villains but without ... Read More

david lapham definitely intended this to be a punisher book, with less of an emphasis on daredevil. you can tell because all the punisher parts are in first person, where the captions are his thoughts, but daredevil's narrative captions are in the third person. each issue is basically a punisher comic, where daredevil shows up. punisher is effected by (and creates and drives) the plot, where daredevil just seems sort of stagnant. i thought this was a major flaw in the comic. it should have been equally ...

I'm not big on any team-ups or VS mini's from Marvel (just checkout the Wolverine/Punisher TPB, or rather don't), especially when it's anything involving the Punisher that doesn't feature the MAX imprint on the cover or Garth Ennis' name attached to it. However, writer/artist David Lapham's Daredevil VS the Punisher: Means & Ends is a surprisingly good take on both vigilantes and their opposing outlooks on the war on crime. Picking up from the events of Brian Michael Bendis' Daredevil run, Wilson Fisk ... Read More

This was a really good crime comic that balanced both protaganist's point of view without painting either one as totally right or wrong. The problem with most of these Daredevil-Punisher team-ups is that either Daredevil is portrayed as hero of the piece or the Punisher. With this story, the "hero" is not clear cut, even after the tale is over.
The real strength of this book, despite the wall-to-wall action and crime intrigue, is the characterization. Both characters come off very driven ... Read More

I was looking forward to reading this as I really enjoy it when these 2 characters face off. They have such opposing views on justice that the conflict between the 2 is inherent. They are already naturally at odds without a story having to set that up which is great. And this book starts off with them going one on one after the first few pages. And if you are simlpy interested in seeing them going at each other without much else, this is the book for you. Personally, I need a story. And this book seems to ... Read More
