Ha ha. This oughta be good. Frank was priceless is Civil War. Can't wait to see him in World War Hulk. I'm actually enjoying this Punisher series. I love Matt Fraction's writing. It's been so long since I've been compelled to even pick up an issue. Ariel Olvietti's art is pretty sweet too.
But looking at these images, WTF is up with Frank's Punisher/Cap costume? He gave the regular one to Winter Soldier. Obviously this isn't the same one he was wearing during the Hate-Monger arc. I'm not too sure I like how that's looking. Reminds me of that messed up time that Frank was dead and had demon powers or whatever that was about. But I'm gonna trust Mr. Fraction.
The epic World War Hulk has come to Manhattan and this doesn’t make Frank Castle, AKA The Punisher, a very happy man! In the extra-sized (jammed with even more story!) Punisher War Journal #12, from the acclaimed creative team of writer Matt Fraction and artist Ariel Olivetti, it’s time for Frank to protect those left behind in the wake of Hulk’s rage. But this is no ordinary man and this is no ordinary battle, so Frank will don something we can only call…the Venom Suit! Armed with his new costume, two chainsaws and a gun that shoots swords, it’s time for the action story you demanded!
Critics continue to hail Punisher War Journal as one of Marvel’s most exciting new series. “Matt Fraction has done an amazing job during his tenure on Punisher War Journal,” said Kevin Powers of SilverBulletComicBooks.Com. “Matt Fraction continues to write an outstanding series… I can’t wait to see who and what he brings in next.”
As Mung The Inconceivable, a member of Hulk’s Warbound, rampages through Manhattan, the Punisher and his allies put the alien in their crosshairs. But if the combined might of Marvel’s Mightiest Heroes couldn’t triumph over Hulk’s allies, does the Punisher stand any chance? His new arsenal provides the answer in Punisher War Journal #12, the book that Olivetti was born to draw!
