PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL #13

Let me start by saying I'm not a big Punisher fan. It's not that I hate the character. It's just I can't really get into his solo series. He's always been sort of a back up character to me or someone that makes random guest appearances. For me, it's good enough to know he's out there fighting the good fight and best heard and not seen in most cases.
However, I picked this issue up on a whim after flipping through it and seeing several hilarious moments, such as Rhino busting through a wall quoting the Kool-aid Man's "Oh Yeah!" as the guard screams, "Oh no!" or seeing Spider-Man webbing Punisher up as he tries to kill Rhino and then re-webbing him later when he lies about when he promises he won't kill Kraven.
To say this was my darkhorse pick of the week would be an understatement. This came out of nowhere and was easily one of the best books I picked up this week. As someone coming into the book fresh, I have no idea what's going on and or what Frank's been up to and the issue was still a complete and satisfying experience and I'm tempted to pick up next month's issue just to see more of this.
Verdict - Must Read. I guess having Spider-Man does increase sales for books. It made me stop and flip through this and I'm glad I did. Do yourself a favour and pick this gem up. One of the best books I've read in a long time.
