Punisher War Journal: Base #1

Frank Castle stands at a workbench with screwdrivers in hand, his open shirt revealing the skull emblem on his chest — all business, no theatrics. Behind him, the cover by Javier Rodríguez spreads into a meticulous inventory of Frank's arsenal: wrenches, blades, throwing stars, firearms, grenades, and more, split across a cool blue and warm golden palette that feels almost like a hardware store built for war. Writer Torunn Grønbekk and artist Djibril Morissette-Phan launch this 2023 one-shot with the promise of something grounded and methodical — less about the chaos of the battlefield and more about what it takes to maintain it.
