The Source Material War Journal - Episode 7- The Punisher vol. 2 #11

Frank Castle heads into the unforgiving heat of northern Mexico in The Punisher #11, “Second Sight,” by Mike Baron, Whilce Portacio, Scott Williams, and company. What begins as a brutal hunt for smugglers takes an unexpected turn when Frank is temporarily blinded and forced to put his life—and his aim—in someone else’s hands. Then a mysterious brujo named Pepe pushes the Punisher into even stranger territory, forcing him to confront the loss that created him and a question he can’t solve with a gun: is he experiencing hallucinations, instinct… or something genuinely supernatural? We dig into the issue’s clever uses of “second sight,” its striking visual storytelling, the emotional wounds beneath Frank Castle’s war, and, of course, the unforgettable sight of the Punisher firing an honest-to-goodness antique cannon.
