Review/plot:
The Punisher is food shopping. It's a good thing for these kids that this isn't the Bill Mantlo-era, jaywalker shooting version of the character.

Anyway, if you guessed that a horde of violent drug addicts show up and raid the supermarket while the Punisher is shopping, and the Punisher kills them all, congratulations. You've read a Punisher comic before.

The most interesting thing to me was a mention of Tofutti, a brand that sells vegan dairy substitute products (they're also Kosher, which is i assume why Micro buys them). I didn't realize Tofutti had been around that long.

The most interesting thing to non-vegans, i assume, is the use of a lobster as a deadly weapon.

Quality Rating: C+

Historical Significance Rating: 1

Chronological Placement Considerations: The next seven issues are the "Eurohit" storyline that takes place prior to the fall of the Kingpin, so it has been pushed back in publication time, out of sequence for this series.
