Frank Castle is back in a new Red Band ongoing comic book series by Benjamin Percy and José Luis Soares this winter.
The story picks up right after the conclusion of Percy and Julius Ohta’s current Punisher: Red Band mini-series, with a new first issue in February.
Frank Castle’s amnesia is still effecting him just in time for the return of his arch nemesis Jigsaw.
“Punisher: Red Band was a new beginning for Frank Castle—and an unrelenting assault,” Percy explained. “The book was polybagged, because it was a biohazard, dripping with blood. Now that you know we aren’t fooling around, we’re entering a new phase of storytelling that will serve both as a continuation of Red Band and a fresh start for new readers.
“I’m joined in the dark alleys and rusting warehouses of New York by José Luis on pencils and Oren Junior on inks,” he continued. “Jose is stretching his incredible art in a new direction, channeling all the grit and scars and shadows you’d expect from Frank’s cracked-window view of the world. You’ll be amazed and disturbed by the grounding detail and physical menace and brutal action he’s bringing to this story. And who better to cast as our villain—in a story about Frank picking up the broken, jagged pieces of himself—than one of the greatest Marvel baddies: Jigsaw. Get ready. This is gonna hurt.”
