The Source Material War Journal - Episode 2- The Punisher vol. 2 #3

from The Source Material Comics Podcast · host W2M Network

In this episode of Source Material War Journal, Jesse continues his journey through the original Punisher ongoing series with a deep dive into The Punisher #3, "The Devil Came from Kansas." Frank Castle finds himself crossing paths with Colonel Joseph Fryer and the New American Revolution, an extremist paramilitary organization funding its hateful agenda through violent crime. Jesse breaks down the issue's action-packed story, examines how the comic contrasts ideological extremism with Frank's uncompromising war on criminals, and discusses whether this early Punisher tale succeeds as a compelling character study or settles into a familiar formula. Along the way, he explores the issue's memorable villain, the destruction of the iconic Battle Van, and one of Frank Castle's darkest—and most darkly humorous—final confrontations.
