Punisher as Civil War Executioner in New Punisher War Journal
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.
First up on the list: Stilt-Man! Wilbur Day, more commonly known as Stilt-Man, might not be a heavy hitter, but it doesn’t matter who you are, if you cross Frank Castle you’re done for. Take note true believers, Frank isn’t going soft just because he’s back in the Marvel Univers; expect blood and lots of it.
Written by Matt Fraction with Young Guns: Reloaded artist Ariel Olivetti, Punisher War Journal ties directly into Civil War # 5 and guarantees to change the tide of the war. What is Frank’s plan? How will he affect this war? Only he knows and we’re too scared to ask!

Civil War Epilogue in Wolverine #48, Prologue for Marvel Comics Presents
In the recent Civil War tie-in “Vendetta” story arc running through Wolverine, the feral X-Man and Avenger had been in a plane crash, nearly decapitated, and had all of his flesh burned clear off. In Wolverine #48, the question of even Logan could have survived such injuries is answered.
If you thought you knew everything about Logan and his extraordinary healing factor, you thought wrong. The newest mystery for Wolverine starts in Wolverine #48.
And it continues in 2007 in the pages of Marvel Comics Presents where Marc Guggenheim and Howard Chaykin further explore Logan’s next great mystery.
