The Punisher is no longer the Fist of the Beast. Frank Castle is back and New York criminals have nowhere left to hide.

Official Description:
FRANK IS BACK! 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. From the superstar HELLVERINE creative team of Benjamin Percy and Julius Ohta, do not miss a single pulse pounding page of this explosive new series.

Punisher: Red Band #1 wastes no time reintroducing Frank. From the opening pages you are thrown into his violent world, where he fights with the iconic skull on his chest and a ruthless determination. Ben Percy nails the tone. He gives us the Punisher as both legend and man, stripped down and forced back into the fight with Kingpin looming large over the city. Tombstone adds even more danger to Frank’s path, and his presence here is unsettling in the best way.

The Red Band label is no gimmick. Punisher: Red Band #1 is brutal, raw, and unforgettable. The art by Julius Ohta is fantastic, capturing both the gritty detail of New York streets and the explosive action that defines the Punisher. Every panel lands with weight. You feel the impact of each gunshot, each brawl, each moment of Frank’s merciless crusade.

Punisher: Red Band #1 sets the stage for a new era of Punisher stories that demand attention. It is violent, uncompromising, and impossible to put down.

Rating:
ComicsOnline gives Punisher: Red Band #1 — 4.5 out of 5 skull marked warnings. Punisher: Red Band #1 is a savage return that proves Frank Castle never stays down for long.
