Vigilante Frank Castle Returns to Wreak Havoc as the Punisher Again
Here's a Fresh Take on the Article:
Hell's Kitchen's favorite vigilante is back, baby! That's right, the Punisher, aka Frank Castle, is gracing our comic pages once more.
The five-issue miniseries titled Punisher: Red Band, from the minds of Ben Percy (Wolverine) and Julius Ohta (Iron Man), is set to kick off this fall. Last we checked in with Frank, he was running the Hand ninja cult, discovered his wife was still alive and ready to call it quits, and wound up in Weirdworld. But fear not, as this Frank has lost all memories of his past life, yet still retains his exceptional skills for dispatching foes.
This time around, Frank will be causing a ruckus right in the heart of New York. And with a "Red Band" label, you know this comic series ain't holding back when it comes to bloodletting and mayhem.
Benjamin Percy, who's been chomping at the bit to write the Punisher for ages, shared his enthusiasm: "Frank Castle is one of my top picks for heartless psychos. I'm gonna dive headfirst into this project, delivering the goriest, toughest, and grittiest installment of the Punisher yet."
The Punisher has always had Marvel scratching its head on what to do with the character. Some of that hesitation came from the Netflix series and the sensitive timing of featuring a trigger-happy avenger following mass shootings, while other times, it was because law enforcement had adopted his symbol to decorate their vehicles[6][7]. Daredevil: Born Again tackled that issue head-on during its inaugural season, with Frank offing a bunch of Punisher cops and reminding them "you're a disgrace to my symbol."
See for yourself what Frank Castle dishes out when Punisher: Red Band drops on September 10, 2025.
