Punisher War Journal #19
In "Jigsaw Part 2," Frank Castle finds himself hunted not just by a deadly assassin but by a system that now brands him a terrorist—despite being framed by a man he once trusted. With Ian carrying out a brutal campaign against everyone in Frank’s life, he and Diamonelle flee through the city’s underbelly, seeking refuge with Clarke. The stakes rise as Frank uncovers the truth behind the escalating violence, while Bridge and his allies close in. Written by Matt Fraction and Rick Remender, with bold, gritty art by Howard Chaykin and striking colors by Edgar Delgado and Jesus Aburto, this issue deepens the psychological war at the heart of the Punisher mythos. The cover by Alex Maleev captures the tension with haunting precision.
