Punisher War Journal #1
In "How I Won the War: Part 1: Bring on the Bad Guys," Frank Castle finds himself hunted in the wake of Civil War, his safe-houses compromised and his arsenal confiscated. With a powerful Marvel Universe enforcer closing in, Frank’s long-standing neutrality shatters when costumed villains start showing up with official badges—something he can’t ignore. Written by Matt Fraction and illustrated by Ariel Olivetti, with colors by Dean White and letters by Joe Caramagna, this issue kicks off a tense, no-holds-barred chapter in the Punisher’s war, all capped by Olivetti’s striking cover.

With Civil War in full-throttle mode, Frank Castle is feeling the heat. His safe-houses have been raided, his munitions seized, and he's square in the crosshairs of a Marvel Universe big gun who always gets his man. Until now, this wasn't Frank's war. But when Spandex-clad baddies start carrying badges...well, let us just say that's something the Punisher can't abide.
