THE ORIGIN OF THE WAR JOURNAL!
Before he was the Punisher, Frank Castle was a husband, a father and a Marine. Not necessarily in that order. In this story from between the pages of PUNISHER, Frank tries to come home-but finds it impossible to leave the war behind him.
Rated T+
Punisher War Journal: Base catches up with Frank and his wife Maria, after Frank returns from serving in the marines. It does an excellent job of showing how difficult it can be to return to civilian life after being in the military. Whether it's Frank Castle or another soldier, it takes time and effort to make a marriage and family work in these instances. Read Full Review

Punisher War Journal: Base #1 is a good dive into Franks back story, with some great character moments and a pulse-pounding second half. Its interesting to see Frank living a normal life with his wife and kids, before disaster happened. If you love the Punisher, youll love this book. Read Full Review
I actually really liked this one. Ot was a little exposition heavy, but it felt like it really enhanced the story. I liked the art, the concept and the execution. It was a really enjoyable Punisher story.
It's an excellent combination of slow-burn psychological study and hard-boiled Punisher combat. The tough, terse, symbolic language suits the protagonist to a T.
The art demonstrates a remarkable facility for both subtle character interactions and hard-hitting action--not easy to do in this heavy-line style.
I think I might like Torunn Grønbekk better on the Punisher than on Asgardian business.
I really enjoy these little vignettes they've been doing as an aside to the main series. Aaron's Punisher really opens up the way for plenty of intriguing character and story development, so I'm glad they've been capitalizing on that.
