Review/plot:
The Punisher shoots people! While skydiving this time!

This is Chuck Dixon's first issue on War Journal, and it's actually a fun issue, with the parachuting action being well depicted. The actual plot of the issue unfolds in flashbacks. It turns out that Punisher is chasing these guys because they have genetically altered coca seeds that will make it possible to grow the cocaine-producing plant anywhere (e.g. "the hood of a Dodge"). After killing the parachuters, Punisher hunts down and kills the scientist that developed the seeds.

Quality Rating: C+

Historical Significance Rating: 1

Chronological Placement Considerations: Can't take place between Punisher #53-62; the only free time for the Punisher during that period would be while he's been turned into a black man.
