MARVEL COMICS FIRST LOOKS
FIRST LOOK: PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL #7
Punisher War Journal #7 will arrive in stores on May 9 from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by Matt Fraction, with art and cover by Ariel Olivetti.
Here's how Marvel describes the issue:
"The Punisher debuts his new Captain America-inspired costume and to mark this change, the issue will feature 50/50 covers by Ariel Olivetti: one with Frank's classic look and one showcasing his all-new costume. A new look for the Punisher is just the beginning though, as his battle with Hate Monger may change Frank Castle forever in more ways than you expect!
"With the death of Captain America, Frank Castle's job as the Punisher isn't just to deal out justice with a flurry of bullets -- he's also trying to uphold the beliefs of the fallen hero. That'd be a lot easier if the Hate Monger wasn't rallying his forces to commit horrible atrocities around the nation while wearing a uniform similar to that of Captain America."
Punisher War Journal #7will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.

"With their leaders cut off from them and a majority of their team captured, an unlikely group of young allies battle their way through demon infested wastelands. All hope seems to be lost, but the kids aren't alone in limbo... and things look like they are about to get much, much worse."
