Hot on the heels of actor Jon Bernthal's return as Frank Castle in Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel Comics has announced the return of Frank Castle in comics with a new Punisher: Red Band comic by writer Benjamin Percy and artist Julius Ohta that the publisher is promising will be the "most violent in Punisher history."
Castle last appeared in the Marvel Universe in 2023's Punisher #13, which left him stranded in the fantasy-fueled alt-reality WeirdWorld, with no memory of his life as the Punisher. Castle's de-commissioning of sorts came at the end of one of the character's most transformative stories ever, which changed him from being a deadly street vigilante into the leader of The Hand, complete with a new symbol nothing like his classic skull emblem.
