This is part two of the saga of the Punisher War Journal ” Civil War ” special series.

Frank Castle, the Punisher ( as if you didn’t know that ) and the symbol of America, Captain America working together?

Well in issue #2, it happens albeit for a very short period of time.

Cap is the leader of this little rebellion against authority, ironic in and of itself, and the question is can the Captain actually trust the Punisher?

Cap – ” I’m not sure I can have you Throwing In with me castle. “

Punisher – ” Why not? We’re both soldiers. “

Cap- ” I’m a soldier. You’re a Vigilante. A Criminal. “

Punisher – ” Yeah. But so are you these days. “

this was some of the dialog from page two of the comic, and sets the stage for the uniting of these two characters in book two, with the Punisher being Cap’s Bucky ( well sort of! ) as long as the Punisher doesn’t use ” Lethal Force “, yeah……good luck with that idea Cap!

Castle makes it clear that he ” really doesn’t care ” which side wins in this little Civil War, just that ” all this just gets in my way ” referring to his little war on crime vendetta, which kinda reminds me of a certain ” Dark Knight “, and makes you wonder when the Batman and the Punisher will cross paths again?

At one point, Cap even gives Frank a compliment by saying ” Good Work, soldier. Move out. “

But in the end, the Captain and the Punisher ( or is that Tennile ? ) work in and come from very different worlds, and kinda like that often referred to leopard and his spots…well the Punisher is the Punisher, with his own code of ethics and he doesn’t lie down with criminals, no matter what the circumstance might be.

After Castle guns down two criminals that had come to offer their help to Cap in his fight against the registration act, Caps ready to beat the snot out of the Punisher, and the Punisher is almost daring him to….more to come pilgrims!
