The Punisher debuts his new Captain America-inspired costume in Punisher War Journal #7 and to mark this historic change, the issue will feature 50/50 covers by Young Guns Reloaded artist Ariel Olivetti: one with Frank’s classic look and one showcasing his all-new costume.

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.
“Matt Fraction and Ariel Olivetti should stand up and take a bow, because they are working on the best super hero version of the Punisher that has ever been published,” said Michael of ForeverGeek.Com.
Kevin Powers of SilverBulletComicBooks.com named Punisher War Journal his pick of the week, explaining, “This book proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Matt Fraction is a force to be reckoned with….”
