I have actually read the storyline in question as well as most of Ennis's Punisher MAX run. And I am aware this is a real problem that sadly receives very little attention and the people dealing with are underfunded and underappreciated.

My point was general to Ennis's writing, with Cooke being not the worst example of it, but still an example. The thing is, I do actually think Cooke and what she does is extremely admirable. However, because of Ennis's writing style and preferences, what she also does is highly ineffective. Yeah, she's still alive and fighitng, but she personally didn't really achieve anything here, the Punisher did by brutal violence. In Ennis's work, anyone trying to achieve anything without violence is always ineffective and truly worthy of respect only after they understand the need for the violence.
