The Punisher #12

The Punisher, Issue #12 ends the C.O.N.D.O.R. storyline, but not the series, which is set to continue with Issue #13. There are hints in the back materials that the antagonist of the series, Olaf, will make a return at some point. Other than Olaf - who ends up in DEA custody - C.O.N.D.O.R. is finished. The remaining super-soldier drug EMC has sunk into the ocean, and the facilities to make more are destroyed. The good guys have won.

While I loved the EMC arc, 12 issues is about as long as it could have gone, and I'd be disappointed if Issue #13 involved it. EMC does make soldiers impervious to pain as well as stronger and faster, but a bunch of top mercenaries got their butts kicked despite being on it, so it doesn't seem so great. This is good stuff, and I'm looking forward to reading more.
