With Frank Castle M.I.A., a new Punisher is set to take his quest for vengeance to the streets of the Marvel Universe this November as award-winning writer David Pepose (Savage Avengers, Moon Knight: City of the Dead) teaming with artist Dave Wachter (Planet of the Apes, X-Men Legends) for the next generation of punishment.
“The man might be different, but the punishment remains the same,” teases writer Pepose. “I wanted to introduce the Danny Ketch to Frank’s Johnny Blaze. I asked myself ‘How do we build a bigger table? And how do we invite as many readers as possible?’ For existing fans of the Punisher and for new fans, this is a story that’s not going to sacrifice any of the attitude, any of the action, and we are not letting the pedal off the metal.”
In this action-packed new PUNISHER saga, Frank Castle has disappeared, but evil will always need to be punished. With all-new threats rising to claim innocent victims, criminals will need to beware of a dangerous vigilante hunting them from the shadows. Enter a new Punisher: retired S.H.I.E.L.D. black ops agent Joe Garrison. But what brings him back into action? What put Joe Garrison on his path of vengeance? And when the smoke clears, will he even make it out alive?
Punisher #1 will go on sale on November 8th.
