 Marvel
will launch a new Punisher series titled: "The Punisher" which is yet another
step in their current "Fresh Start Initiative". Matthew Rosenberg remains the
writer on the series, but he will be joined by new artist Riccardo Burchielli
(DMZ, Northlanders) on the art. The new series finds Frank Castle no longer has
the War Machine armor, but the Punisher has retained his newly acquired taste
for big game-and he's hungry for more. However, the paths to such perilous
pursuits are fraught with dangers bigger than any Frank has faced before, and
this lone wolf could use otherworldly help on his way up to the world stage. Of
the new series reflecting the changes in Frank's mission after his War Machine
stint, Rosenberg said:
“He’s been able to do real damage, cause real change, in ways he’s not used to.
They used to say that when a shark attacked a human they had to be hunted down
because once they’d developed a taste for it they’d never stop. That’s Frank.
He’s back on the streets, but he has a taste for the bigger game and he isn’t
going to stop until he puts them in the ground — or they put him in it.”
It all begins with PUNISHER #1 which
is currently scheduled to ship on New Comic Wednesday-080818 with a $4.99 cover price and a variety of
variant covers. As always it will be "1st Day Sale"
priced at 25% OFF ($3.75!) on the 18th and 15% OFF for the rest of its first
week of release ($4.25!)-while supplies last! |
