Vigilante Frank Castle Resumes Deadly Crusade in New Punisher Series
Hey there! Prepare yourself for some raw action as the Punisher, Marvel's relentless anti-hero, makes a comeback!
In Punisher: Red Band, it's time for some classic, gun-slinging chaos! This five-issue miniseries, penned by Benjamin Percy, known for his gripping work on Wolverine, and Julius Ohta, whose iron fist has left its mark on Iron Man, promises to deliver an intense rollercoaster.
Our protagonist, Frank Castle, Artist's rendition of the Punisher, is back on the streets of New York. He's amnesiac, though still exceptionally proficient in dishing out deadly vengeance. The Red Band label on this comic series signifies that it's going to get bloodier than ever before, continuing the Punisher's legacy of brutality.
Excited about this gruesome journey, Percy shared, "Frank Castle is my ultimate favorite character. This Punisher series? I've been waiting a long time to write it! I’m diving headfirst into the grit and gore! This is going to be intense and violent. You better grab your seat for some serious street-level mayhem!"
The Punisher has seen his fair share of challenges in the past, ranging from battling the Hand ninja cult to learning his wife, Sarah, was still alive and wanted out of their marital bond. His most recent adventure landed him in Weirdworld. Now, in Punisher: Red Band, Frank finds himself venturing into unknown territory, without any recollections of his past life but with a deep-seated thirst for vengeance.
Marvel seems to have found renewed confidence in the Punisher, following the success of his TV outing and swaying past apprehensions about the timing of heavily-armed vigilantes in light of mass shootings or the co-optation of his symbol by law enforcement. The gritty portrayal of the Punisher in Daredevil: Born Again even saw him taking out a group of Punisher-themed police officers during its first season.
Get ready to dive into the intense world of Punisher: Red Band, hitting the shelves on September 10, 2025.
