Review/plot:
Jim Lee got full penciling credits for the previous two issues, but now he's sharing layout credits with Carl Potts and doing the finished art.

This two part "African Saga" takes the inevitable meeting of Marvel's two biggest anti-hero characters and does it in a way that is pretty weird. Issue #6 opens witha statement saying "With appreciation for the works of Dr. Bernard Heuvelmans and Dr. Roy P. Mackal". Those guys are cryptozoologists, i.e. people that look for stuff like the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot. This issue gets back to the Mokele-Mbembe that was previewed in Punisher War Journal #1. The Mokele-Mbembe is the Congo's equivalent to the Loch Ness Monster, thought to be an apatosaurus or a similar sauropod. So that is the backdrop for the Wolverine/Punisher meeting.
