The Source Material War Journal - Episode 9- The Punisher vol. 2 Annual #1 "3 Hearts"

This time on The Source Material War Journal, Jesse digs into “3 Hearts,” the Microchip-focused backup story from The Punisher Annual #1! With Frank Castle nowhere to be found, Micro gets the spotlight—and a dangerous situation involving an old friend forces the Punisher’s tech-savvy ally to find out exactly what he’s capable of when things get personal. Along the way, Jesse looks at Roger Salick’s unusual Marvel résumé, the story’s clever use of Microchip’s surveillance and technical skills, some wonderfully over-the-top late-’80s Punisher action, and why the idea behind “3 Hearts” may apply to Micro himself more than he realizes. Does Microchip have what it takes to carry a Punisher story without the Punisher? Tune in and find out!
