Marv is from Sin City, where unlike other comic universes, fights and confrontations are not convoluted so that no main character dies. Punisher series might have the ultimate realism if death eventually caught up to Frank, and he passed his mantle to someone else-like Batman is supposed to do, but DC hasn't followed through on it.
Still, there is a lot of great scans in there - the gallows humour of his fight with the Russian; and I can't believe that fight with Ulik. Was handled quite realistically. And the explanation of the differences between Punisher and Batman and Daredevil (Frank is like a tsuinami) was thoughtful.
