The Punisher: War Zone, also known as The Punisher War Zone vol. 2 is a comic book series published by Marvel Comics about the vigilante The Punisher. The series was written by Garth Ennis and drawn by Steve Dillon. Dillon also drew all of the covers to the series. The series is a follow-up to Ennis and Dillons previous series, Welcome Back Frank and marked the end of Ennis's eight year long run with the character.

The tagline for the series was "She's Back. And She Wants Payback."

Per issue:

The plot of the series concerns Ma Gnucci who was believed to have been killed in when Frank Castle, (The Punisher), feed her to a polar bear but it seems instead that she survived but has to spend her life as a paraplegic without arms or legs. She sets out to use her family to get revenge on Castle.

The series marked a return to a humorous portrayal of the character of the Punisher, something which Ennis had not done for some time due to working under the Marvel Max line which focused more on serous stories.
