Vigilante Frank Castle Resumes His Deadly Crusade as The Punisher Returns
follows:
FrankCastle, Marvel's fearsome anti-hero, is set to return to the comic book scene in the upcoming miniseries, "Punisher: Red Band." This five-issue series, penned by Benjamin Percy, best known for his work on "Wolverine," and Julius Ohta, who has illustrated titles such as "Iron Man," will begin on September 10, 2025.
In this new story, Frank finds himself back in New York City, bereft of his previous memories yet still honing his lethal skills. As in the popular Netflix series, this Frank Castle will once again engage in a bloody spree of revenge. The "Red Band" label attached to the comic signifies a more explicit content than usually found in Marvel publications.
Percy expressed his excitement about writing the series, stating, "Frank Castle is one of my all-time favorite characters, and 'Punisher' is a series I've been eager to tackle for a long time. This time around, I plan to delve into the heart of darkness that is the Punisher, pushing the boundaries of my preferred genre – the gritty, violent world of hardened psychopaths. Brace yourself for a bloodbath."
The Punisher has often faced challenges in Marvel's ever-evolving narrative, with some of the uncertainty stemming from his popular Netflix series and the delicate timing of a heavily armed vigilante on television following mass shootings. Additionally, police forces have occasionally adopted the Punisher symbol, a point raised in the first season of "Daredevil: Born Again."
As the release date for "Punisher: Red Band" approaches, fans, and readers alike eagerly anticipate witnessing the violent exploits of Frank Castle, the Punisher, in this highly anticipated miniseries.
