Marvel Announces New Comic Series ‘The Punisher’ With Becky Cloonan And Steve Dillon

Marvel announced on Friday that comic book antihero Frank Castle is returning to action in an all-new Punisher series from writer Becky Cloonan and artist Steve Dillon.

Marvel Reveals Comic Series Reboot Of ‘The Punisher’

The new comic surrounds a normal drug bust that takes an unexpected turn when Frank learns that the drug creates unstable super soldiers.

When Frank discovers that one of the men behind the drug is a familiar face from his military career, he digs deeper and deeper into the Northeast’s underworld.

“The Punisher is such a layered character, and he definitely falls waaaay outside of the realm of “good guy,” Cloonan told Comicbook.com. “He does bad things for good reasons, and we are constantly left wondering if the ends justify the means.”

Cloonan assured fans that the new Punisher series will be similar to its past comics, though there will definitely be a few changes.

“Things are going to start out in a familiar enough place, but soon The Punisher is going to find himself in an unfamiliar environment without a lot of the things he usually relies on,” Cloonan revealed. “A few people have said some of the stuff we are planning is reminiscent of Punisher MAX, which is nothing but the highest of compliments!”

Dillon is not new to working on the art for The Punisher, but Cloonan looks forward to giving the comic artist some new material to draw.  

“We see Punisher in a lot of new places and situations, some of which will affect his appearance — it’s going to be a lot of fun!,” Cloonan said. “Steve is going to kill it, I’m so stoked to be working with him. I’ve been a huge fan of his for years!”
