Punisher War Journal Annual #1
"IF I DIE BEFORE I WAKE..."
Welcome to the Helter Skelter Club -- psychedelic hangout of every costumed wannabe, z-list villain and spandex try hard in NYC.

Looks like a fun annual, though it should've been written by Fraction considering that he wrote/co-wrote every issue of the series. I'll be picking it up without question either way.

I was hesitant until I read there was going to be brain sucking Nazi midgets. Now I can't resist.

@Kory It was the mini-galactus that got me.

And the ninja teddies. Lots and lots of them.

The Punisher in a Psychedelic Hangout. I'll atleast have to flip thru this.

How am I seeing the average rating for this issue being a 9?

I know I have been an grumpy comic nerd when it comes to War Journal.....But damn this was a good annual! The fact that it went so far with the cuteness made me laugh to no end. Punisher fighting Alice and Wonderland characters and Ninja Teddy Bears? More please!

I really wanted to like this but it didn't do anything for me.

Um, I am not sure how to describe what I just read. Trippy.

I LOVE this cover!!! The story sounds pretty cool as well but I will have to flip through it before dropping 4 bucks.
