Sneak Peeks are great in that they give you a preview of the goodness coming down the pike. This week Marvel sends us a five page preview of Punisher: War Journal #5 that is all about that balance between normals and superhumans. In this case it is Bushwacker v. a lone beat cop. Even without the word balloons, you can tell the cop has wet himself.
Crossovers are a big deal, especially when it is the first time two characters meet. This April, Top Cow and Marvel team up pitting Witchblade and the Punisher. Who’s going to win? While the Punisher has all those weapons, Sara Pezzini does have THE weapon.
Urban legend tells of a brutal vigilante on an endless quest to avenge his family, innocent bystanders killed years ago in a mob shootout. He’s the boogie man that criminals warn their troublemaking kids about, and is called-The Punisher. As a New York City homicide detective, Sara Pezzini has seen just about everything, and she doesn’t believe in legends. But when she encounters the myth himself during a prison transport she must ask herself - do the ends justify the means? And will Sara’s partner, Patrick Gleason pay the ultimate price for her principles?
Witchblade/The Punisher is written by Witchblade series writer Ron Marz and drawn by Witchblade series artist Adriana Melo. As an added bonus, the cover is done by Joseph Michael Linsner.
“This one was just a natural,” remarked Marz, “Both characters inhabit a grittier, more realistic world than most of their comic-book brethren, and that’s definitely the kind of story we’re telling. Sara is a cop sworn to uphold the law, while the Punisher tends to leave a lot of corpses and spent shell casings in his wake. It’s safe to say they will not be getting along”.
Marvel Comics has sent us a sneak peek a five page preview of Punisher War Journal #4. Frank Castle’s war on crime has claimed it’s first super-victim. Stilt Man is laid to rest with the super villian community gathering to pay their respects. Looks like it is going to be a virtual Who’s Who of Marvel villians!
Marvel Comics has let Major Spoilers know that five of its recent titles have sold out and are going back to press. Each will have a new variant cover. We have the titles, the covers, and the release schedule after the jump.

Geez, what do you get for the man who would rather kill you? The Punisher must have some holiday spirit somewhere, because Marvel Comics has sent us a preview and info on the upcoming issue that will be in stores November 29th.
Frank Castle is back in the Marvel Universe and unlike others who’ve tip-toed the line between anti and pro-registration, Frank is diving right into the Civil War starting in the all-new ongoing series Punisher War Journal #1. Frank’s not likely to have second thoughts about his role: those who deserve punishment will pay…and the sentence is death.
Yesterday, during the Marvel Studios Analyst webcast, the company revealed more details on their future projects.
