Punisher War Journal #34Issue(s): Punisher War Journal #34 Review/plot: Again i direct you to the cover as the most interesting part of this issue. John Beatty gives us basically the animated series version of the Punisher, and i think it looks pretty cool. As for the interior, this is a story that examines racial tensions in New York between black and Korean communities during a heatwave. ![]() ![]() Think of it as Do The Right Thing, except with the Punisher in a little car with a water canon on top. ![]() And a white criminal to give everyone a common enemy to unite against. ![]() Oh, and a mentally ill veteran receives radio waves via the metal plate in his skull that he thinks are the voice of a "man in black" telling him to kill space aliens. ![]() Despite inevitably reinforcing racial stereotypes, it's actually a lot better of a story than it sounds!
