Punisher War Journal #24-25 (2008-2009): Secret Invasion

3 days ago 6

Matt Fraction hands this character off to Rick Remender with an event tie-in.  And of course a creator hand-off means we have to “re-set” back to zero. 

So, Punisher, who was last seen imprisoned by SHIELD, escapes when the Stark tech used in the prison fails as a result of the skrull invasion.  GW Bridge goes after him, a bunch of skrulls die.

Before Bridge and Punisher can throw down, Rampage appears.

They all end up being pinned down by a skrull sniper, and despite his desire for revenge, Rampage saves the day.

In the final battle with the skrulls, Rampage’s armor explodes.  We see in the final panels that … He’s the next Jigsaw?

Next issue will be Fraction’s last, and the last of the series.  It feels a bit like an inventory issue, but we’ll cover it later. It would have been better to just end here.
