Review/plot:
A final Punisher story by Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning. It may have been written when they were the regular writers on the book and only illustrated now. But in any event, it's just a random/timeless one-off which doesn't even feature Micro, so it fits ok in regular publication time despite the fall-out from Suicide Run.

The story begins with the Punisher chasing someone named Grisholm.

The chase leads them both to a Fight Club, where they have to defend themselves from random contenders.

They both wind up getting captured by "Irish Joe".

He forces them to participate in the Fight Club more formally.

They win, and call a truce when Grisholm's goons show up to rescue him. But the Punisher just seeks Grisholm out later and kills him anyway.

It's a completely random and absurd story, but it's entertaining enough and Frank Teran's rough cartoony art is weirdly enjoyable.

The art makes this looks like a MAD Magazine version of The Punisher.
