Review/plot:
Punisher shoots people! In Hawaii this time!

Punisher has actually been in Hawaii before, but there's no connection with that story. He's hunting a crimelord named Uncle Jerry, who has connections to the Yakuza.

The Punisher is unknowingly helped by a rival crime family, a mother and daughter team. They pose as the Hawaiian god Pele (who has young and old forms), and in fact half-convince the Punisher that he's Kamapua'a, Pele's lover.

The MCP actually treat this as an actual appearance of Pele (who does appear in a couple of future issues) but it's pretty clear from this story that the Pele here is just part of their scam.

Larry Stroman's style is unsuited to Punisher IMO.

True, that scene with him shooting the dude in the back looks like it's from What The-?!
