So my first impressions about Punisher: War Zone were never good. I reported awhile back that I thought when Tom Jane dropped out of the film, the project should have died right there. Anything that could come from a new film would just seem like straight to DVD junk.

As many of you know, the trailer recently hit the web. I can’t say that I was impressed our excited, but it did put a smile on my face. Our good friend, and comic book illustration extraordinaire, Tim Bradstreet was given a fun little nod in the film. As you can see in the photo below, Tim has been immortalized in the film with the set piece of The Brad Street Hotel. Tim has been illustrating the covers of The Punisher for quite some time, and is without a doubt one of my favorite artists. Just recently Tim left The Punisher, and this reference could very well be a thank you present from Marvel and Lexi Alexander. You can check out some of his art here.
