Vigilante Frank Castle, armed and deadly, resumes his punishing crusade against crime in the latest season of The Punisher.
Ready for some straight-up action, folks? The notorious Frank Castle aka The Punisher is back, baby! Dust off those Slab O' Kent issues, 'cause Marvel's bringing their gun-slingin' anti-hero back to the comics scene.
In a gritty, Red Band-labeled five-issue miniseries, entitled Punisher: Red Band, Benjamin Percy, known for his work on Wolverine, teams up with Julius Ohta, who's no stranger to Iron Man, for a tale that's going to make your nerves jangle. Keep in mind, this ain't for the faint of heart – this Frank's got a past that's as brutal as his present, so buckle up!
Last we saw old grumpy pants, he'd taken over the Hand ninja cult, learned his long-lost wife was alive and wanted a divorce, and got tossed into Weirdworld. Now, he's back on the streets of New York with no memories of his past life, but his aim's still true and bodies still drop. Expect the sanguine spectacle to take off much like Frank's TV counterpart, dishing out heaps of bloodshed, chaos, and carnage.
Benjamin Percy couldn't be more psyched about this latest venture, declaring, "Frank Castle is one of my favorite characters, and writing Punisher has been on my bucket list for years. I'm gonna go all out – gore, guts, and gleeful mayhem. Street-level insanity is coming your way!"
Marvel's been skewering itself over just what to do with Frank – the gun-toting vigilante could stir up some trouble weeks or months following mass shootings, while their symbol was also seen plastered on police cruisers. The upcoming Daredevil: Born Again tackled the latter problem by offing a bunch of Punisher cops and telling them they suck.
So there you have it! Punisher: Red Band revs up and hits the road on September 10, 2025. Get ready for a wild – and bloody – ride!
Speaking of blood-soaked tales, stay tuned for the latest on Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, the future of the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the next chapter of Doctor Who.
