Vigilante Frank Castle, Known as The Punisher, Resumes His Violent Crusade Against Criminals
Get Ready to Witness a Brutal Return!
💥 It's time to reacquaint yourself with one of the deadliest antiheroes in the Marvel Universe—the Punisher!
After a brief hiatus, Frank Castle, a.k.a. The Punisher, is once again poised to make his presence felt on the comic book pages. Punisher: Red Band, a five-issue miniseries penned by Benjamin Percy (Wolverine) and Julius Ohta (Iron Man), is set to hit the stands this September.
In this new series, Frank finds himself in unfamiliar territory, navigating New York City with no recollection of his previous life. But make no mistake—he's still got a knack for taking lives. Prepare for a wave of carnage as this seemingly amnesiac Frank delves back into his lethal ways.
With explicit content reminiscent of an R-rated film, the "Red Band" label on this comic series implies it's going to be bloodier than ever before. Percy teased, "This is going to be as gritty and bloody as it gets. Street-level mayhem awaits you."
Marvel's artistic powerhouse, Julius Ohta, brings his distinctive style to the series—a perfect blend of intensity and terror—which captures the raw and ruthless world of the Punisher beautifully[1][3][4][5].
Ever since his return from Weirdworld, Frank's story has been shrouded in uncertainty. His sudden appearance controlling the Hand ninja cult, the revelation of his wife's survival and her desire for a divorce, and his encounters with mass shootings and RIP-Mob cops all added layers of complexity to his character[2].
Stay tuned for Frank's next adventure as Punisher: Red Band kicks off September 10. 💥
