Punisher War Journal #5

In "Secret Invasion Part 1," Stuart, consumed by grief and rage after watching video evidence that the Punisher killed his girlfriend, dons the Rampage suit to hunt Frank Castle. As a Skrull invasion unfolds and Stark tech fails, Frank escapes prison, launching a brutal killing spree against the alien invaders. With the Skrulls spreading across Earth, Sitwell dispatches Bridge to stop the Punisher, but when Bridge confronts him, the real battle begins—not just against the Super Skrull, but against the personal vendetta driving Stuart to finally face the man he blames.

In "Secret Invasion Part 2," former soldier Stewart dons the Rampage armor to hunt down Frank Castle for the murder of his girlfriend, only to find himself caught in a brutal clash with Super Skrulls alongside the Punisher and Bridge. As the fight rages, a severe facial injury leaves Stewart bearing a shocking resemblance to Frank’s infamous foe, Jigsaw.

In "null," it's Christmas, and the Punisher returns to the bar he once destroyed to reclaim the Stilt-Man costume stolen from the Tinkerer’s cache—only to be interrupted by the Rhino, who demands Frank perform a Christmas miracle: a truce, no matter how impossible.
