Can you help a girl out? I've read a lot of Punisher but am lost on reading order.

I didn't care much for the shennigans in the Confederacy of Dunces storyline or that one with the sewer critter or whatever but the MAX story arcs have been pretty good, and brutal. The Punisher is a truly frigheningly remorseless killing machine in this one, it's not just the regular Marvel series but with more blood and swearing.
