It's funny ... in the years that this came out, I would never think about picking this up ... as I considered myself a highbrow "X" fan. But 25 years later, this stuff is classic 80s, and just fun.
I found this to be great - I'm not particularly familiar with the Punisher and this shows him off nicely. It revels in the death and brutality that other Marvel comic books shy away from and is all the stronger for it. There are some nice touches of detail in the wounds Castle receives and the weapons are very well researched.

Marvel's darkest character gets some adventures.
A decent collection, but ideally this should have been incorporated into the Essential Punisher series. War Journal could be read separately from the main line, but it always made sense to read them in sync.
O Justiceiro não é de perto nem de longe um dos meu heróis preferidos - apesar de adorar anti-heróis. Contudo, até gostei das aventuras reunidas neste livro - a dose perfeita de máfia, violência e memórias trágicas. Tânia @MyLovelySecret
Decent comic with copious amounts of violence and gang/mafia activity. The Punisher is a great antihero and his machismo oozes out from every page. The Storyline was average but the inclusion of Wolverine and Daredevil in some of the issues helped to add some star power. Overall an adequate collection of Punisher comics. 3.5 stars
Reprints Punisher War Journal #1-8. Frank Castle fights his war on crime and finds allies in his safehouse neighbors. I am not a huge Punisher fan but War Journal is a little better than the other series. Castle's character is developed a bit better, a little less comic booky (despite an appearance by Wolverine and dinosaurs). The Shadowmasters side story is interesting, but a set up for a separate limited series (so underdeveloped).
Good but the stories are simple and dated. The art is awesome but somehow not so fluid as other comics I've been reading from the 80's.A versão portuguesa têm uma tradução desleixada, com erros ortográficos e falhas gramaticais.
Just finished re-reading half of this vol. Nice classic collections for Punisher fans.
Hay cómics que con el tiempo y las modas han sido injustamente olvidados. Éste es uno de ellos. En comparación con mucho de lo que hoy se hace en la industria de superhéroes, la obra de Potts y Lee se hace imprescindible.Tomando una premisa arriesgada para la época (1988) e incluso para hoy, Carl Potts presenta un corpus esencialmente verosímil. Un protagonista como Frank Castle correctamente construido, al límite del colapso pero sin caer en la caricatura sociópata, apoyado por líneas argumenta...
This book started trying to incorporate Frank more into the wider Marvel U (yes I know he was a Spider-Man villain and a Daredevil antagonist) pulling him out of his own gritty noir back alley and placing him firmly in the world of mutants, superheros, and spandex weirdos. His first meeting with Wolverine is kind of a let down, but his interactions with Daredevil are fun, as always. Overall a little disappointing, though it is a blast seeing the artwork of a baby Jim Lee.
Classic?When punisher was in the marvel universe there were lane stories like the ones in this volume. Silly situations and encounters with superheroes who could trash him in seconds. Not among my favorites.
Es el mismo arco argumental que publicó Columbia en los '90s!
Very good, but the Shadow Masters subplot felt out of focus.
This was a pure nostalgic read for me; when these stories were written I was just a boy reading them and The Punisher was at the apex of his popularity. The early 90s in comics was a time of the antihero.This is a good collection made all the better by Jim Lee's impressive artwork and the inclusion of the first ever meeting between The Punisher and another dark hero at Marvel...Wolverine.
I️ would actually give this 3 and 1/2 stars. I️ like it better than the original Punisher title. It hasn’t heightened Frank to the insane, ultimate killing machine yet, but it’s still good stories.
