Vigilante Frank Castle, Known as the Punisher, Resumes His deadly Crusade

Get ready, comics fans! The Punisher is back on the pages of Marvel Universe, and oh boy, he's bringing the violence.

In Punisher: Red Band, the extreme antihero returns in a five-issue miniseries from the brilliant minds of Ben Percy and Julius Ohta. If you're a fan of Wolverine or Iron Man, you'll be excited to know these talented creators joined forces on this gut-wrenching adventure.

It's been a while since we last saw Frank Castle, back in 2023. Last time, he gained control of the Hand ninja cult, learned his wife was still alive and wanted a divorce, and took a trip to Weirdworld. Now, Frank finds himself back in New York City, with no memories, but still with an extraordinary skill for dispatching the wicked. And trust us, there will be plenty of bad guys in store for him.

Sound familiar? That's because this gritty, intense, and downright brutal storyline echoes the Punisher's TV counterpart, with Castle once again delving into a blood-soaked world of mayhem. The series comes with a "Red Band" label, hinting at a more explicit and violent content than usual.

Percy shared his excitement about the new series, writing, "Frank Castle is one of my all-time favorite characters, and Punisher is a series I've been gunning for a long time. The comics are gonna be as gritty and violent as it gets. Street-level mayhem awaits you."

Now, you might wonder why Marvel seems hesitant about Punisher. That could be due to the controversial airing of his Netflix series alongside tragic real-world events, such as mass shootings. Or it could be the uncomfortable coincidence that some police departments have adopted the Punisher symbol to decorate police vehicles. Daredevil: Born Again addressed this cringe-worthy fact by having Frank kill a bunch of Punisher cops.

Punisher: Red Band will debut on September 10, 2025. Fans of Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, or Doctor Who should check out io9 for updates on these exciting releases. Until then, let's just say we're pretty stoked to see what Frank does next.
