Review/plot:
The Punisher has apparently run out of local criminals to shoot (his ribs are healing from last issue, but it's not like that would stop him), so he and Micro are sitting around getting on each other's nerves.

So the Punisher goes away for the holidays. And then his bus gets buried in a snow avalanche.

There's an escaped insane criminal on the bus, but no one knows who it is. The avalanche killed a few of the bus passengers, and their bodies are moved to the back of the bus. But people start getting killed one by one while everyone is sleeping. The culprit turns out to be one of the original people thought dead; it turns out that he's a cataleptic and wasn't really dead.

Merry Christmas!

I do give Chuck Dixon some credit for putting the Punisher in some unique scenarios in his first two War Journal issues.
