PunisherMAX is the second comic book ongoing series published under the MAX imprint of Marvel Comics featuring vigilante and anti-hero the Punisher. The series was written by Jason Aaron and drawn by Steve Dillon. The series was a primary influence on Marvel's Netflix television series Daredevil and the second season of its spin-off The Punisher, both set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the former in terms of the characterisation of Vanessa Marianna-Fisk (portrayed by Ayelet Zurer), and the latter in the adaptation of the Mennonite, John Pilgrim (portrayed by Josh Stewart).
