I’m talking about the five-issue crossover arc that closed the entire Punisher/War Journal/ War Zone series simultaneously.
Seems an obvious choice for a TPB, especially as the comics individually go for 40 bucks or so each, way more than most issues from the 90s runs. Seems an odd choice not to collate in a single edition, are there any fanmade versions?
In Season 2, Ep 7, Holden comes up with a Hail Mary strategy to flush the killer out: set up permanent memorials at the abduction sites of some of the vics, and see if it draws out the unsub to gloat and relive his crimes.
There’s an issue with acquiring the requisite crosses because of FBU bureaucracy, paperwork, and office politics which means the crosses have to be assembled and delivered last minute.
There follows a tonally bizarre sequence where Holden frantic and in an almost hallucinatory state trying to find the church to raise the cross. Footage of the March is made to look like old newsreel andthe camera is all over the place. Plus the vibes are weird and oppressive.
What wasFincher/the show trying to do here? The whole tone, style and clinical style of much of the photography of the series is completely out of sync with this brief scene but it’s so distinctive and weird, I had to know what others thought.
