PUNISHER: RED BAND, a new limited series from Benjamin Percy and Julius Ohta, arrives this September!
Frank Castle’s brutal war on crime is reignited this September in PUNISHER: RED BAND! The five-issue limited series will be by writer Benjamin Percy and artist Julius Otha, currently delivering twisted horror together in Hellverine. Polybagged for explicit content, the Red Band series promises to be the most violent in Punisher history, as Frank Castle–freshly resurrected and back in his classic costume—is allowed to fully unleash his brutal brand of justice on the criminal underworld.
Reread and reload, True Believers – Frank Castle is BACK. With no memories, a full clip and a thirst for wrathful vengeance, his violent search for answers could only be chronicled in a Red Band series! Bullets will fly, blood will flow, and the citizens and criminals of New York City alike will fear the name THE PUNISHER!

“Frank Castle—that dark-hearted, vengeance machine, that monster who fights monsters—is one of my all-time favorite characters, and Punisher is a series I’ve been gunning to write for a long, long time,” Percy shared. “Not only is Frank back in black, but this is a Red Band book. You know what that means. I’m going to lean in fully and push the very limits of my favorite genre: hairy psychopaths. This is going to be as gritty and bloody as it gets. Street-level mayhem awaits you. And Julius Ohta—who I collaborated with previously on Hellverine—is bringing all the blood and fire and rage to the page with his beautiful, terrifying art.”
Check out covers by Marco Checchetto and E.M. Gist along with a Hidden Gem cover by industry legend Mark Zeck. Plus, get your first look at Punisher’s new chapter with a lettered preview. Stay tuned for more news and preorder PUNISHER: RED BAND #1 at your local comic shop today!
