Marvel is bringing back the Punisher as an ongoing series by Punisher: Red Band writer Benjamin Percy and artist José Luis Soares. The series will follow from the events of Punisher: Red Band (see “Preview: ‘Punisher: Red Band’”), with Frank Castle, still impaired by his damaged memory, facing down Jigsaw. Marvel Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski announced the new series at the Lucca Comics & Games Festival in Italy. Punisher #1 will be released on February 25, 2026, with a cover by David Marquez.
“Punisher: Red Band was a new beginning for Frank Castle—and an unrelenting assault,” Percy said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “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.”
