A few comments at first glance:

Punisher War Journal#1: It should be noted that there's a B&W variant
Punisher War Journal#1-2: re: the variant covers that say "How I Won the War": that's an allusion to the 1967 film starring John Lennon.
Punisher War Journal#4: This issue may be an homage to Captain America#319, in which another villain killer, Scourge also infiltrated a gathering of super-villains disguised as the bartender
Punisher#1 2nd Story: It's not noted where the excerpted panels are from.
Punisher#10: In Punisher and Henry Russo's chronologies, DRLPun should be listed as #1. Also, I'm tempted not to mention this, but for completeness sake, Punisher's family should be mentioned in their chronology as apparently revived and die again (not a favourite scene of mine but that's what was depicted)
Punisher#11: I Punsiher's chronology, DRLPun should be listed as '09, not '10 and should have #1 (Henry Russo's chronology has it right).
Wolverine#43: Nitro's last appearance is not listed.

For Punisher vs. Bullseye #5, Rosalo Patrillo isn't listed in the Other Characters section.
