Reader Reviews
This review is from: Punisher War Journal Vol. 1: Civil War (Hardcover)
With Marvel's much hyped Civil War striking every corner of the Marvel universe, and Garth Ennis writing the character over on the mature themed MAX imprint, the Punisher gets his own mainstream title again with a relaunched Punisher War Journal series. This first TPB finds the criminal killing vigilante in the midst of the superhero Civil War, and choosing a side. When Tony "Iron Man" Stark starts employing super villains to bring in the renegade heroes, Frank Castle takes a stand with Captain America and the rest of the rebels, for a while anyway. The first thing you'll notice with this storyarc is that we don't get into the Punisher's head as much one would imagine considering this says "War Journal". Not to mention that the characterization given to him by new writer Matt Fraction just doesn't ring true to the character either. My biggest complaint with the main Civil War story was Mark Millar's lame characterization of the Punisher, and Fraction doesn't really do much better. He's not a bumbling, bullet crazed sociopath as other writers would make you believe; the Punisher is a methodical, highly intelligent, tactician who is aware of what he is doing and does his work for himself and himself only. That's what has made Garth Ennis' long run on the other Punisher title so successful. The art by Ariel Olivetti is great though, so this TPB isn't a total bummer. All in all, the first volume of Punisher War Journal may be worth a look for longtime fans, but you are much, much better off with any of the books from Ennis' brilliant and bloody run on the title.
