Vigilante Frank Castle, Notorious for Violence, Returns as the Punisher in New Series
Hey there! Get ready for some serious chaos as the Punisher, everyone's favorite gun-wielding antihero, storms back into the comic book world!
Marvel's latest offering is Punisher: Red Band, a five-issue miniseries from writer Ben Percy and artist Julius Ohta. If you're thinking this sounds intense, you're damn right it is! This new series is shaping up to be the most violent Punisher adventure ever!
So what's the deal with this gritty tale? Well, our man Frank is back in New York, but with no recollection of his past life. However, one thing that hasn't changed is his killer instinct. Expect lots of bloodshed, just like the Punisher on your favorite TV shows!
Ben Percy, who's penned some badass stories like Wolverine, had this to say: "Frank Castle is one of my all-time faves, and writing Punisher has been on my bucket list for freakin' ages. Get ready for the goriest, most badass crime thriller you've ever read!"
The Punisher has always given Marvel a bit of a headache. There was the awkward timing around mass shootings, and then there was the issue of cops co-opting his symbol! Daredevil: Born Again tackled that second issue head-on, with Frank taking down a bunch of Punisher cops and telling them to go f*ck themselves!
Fasten your seatbelts, folks. Punisher: Red Band kicks off on September 10, 2025, and it's gonna be a wild ride!
