Punisher Makes a Comeback, Geared for More Deadly Vengeance
Veteran antihero Frank Castle, last seen on television screens, is set to make a return to comic books through the five-issue miniseries, Punisher: Red Band. The new series, penned by Benjamin Percy (Wolverine) and illustrated by Julius Ohta (Iron Man), is slated for release on September 10, 2025.
In this gritty, bloody tale, Frank finds himself back in New York City with no recollection of his past life. Despite the amnesia, his lethal prowess remains unchanged, and he is ready to continue his violent crusade. The series has been tagged with a "Red Band" warning, signifying its explicit content.
Benjamin Percy expressed his excitement about writing the series, stating, "I've been eager to write Punisher for a long time now. I plan to delve deep into my favorite genre - the hair-raising psychopath - and unleash the most twisted, brutal, and bloody Punisher story yet. Prepare for street-level chaos."
Marvel's handling of Frank Castle has often been unclear, with his Netflix series clashing with real-world events and law enforcement appropriating his symbol. The Daredevil series addressed this issue by having Frank eliminate Punisher-branded police officers during its first season.
