This February, Frank Castle’s one-man-war on crime continues in an all-new THE PUNISHER #1 – from the explosive creative team of Nathan Edmondson and Mitch Gerads! For years, the Punisher has called New York City his home – keeping a watchful eye on the city through the sight of a gun. But when a lead on a major source of drugs, weapons, and more leads Frank out west – he sets his sights on Los Angeles. And the City of Angels isn’t ready for a devil like the Punisher! But not everything is as it appears, and Frank will soon find himself toe-to-toe with a highly trained military strike force known only as the 131! Who are the mysterious 131? And why are they out for the Punisher’s head? Find out when the high-octane new series kicks off this February in THE PUNISHER #1!

Does this mean Punisher is quitting the Thunderbolts?

"Frank Castle returns"
What did he go on vacation to the DC universe or something?
I see he's taking his punishment to the west coast , careful Kobe Bryant.

daredevil vs the punisher would equal ratings.

Is L.A. really the place that needs the Punisher most? Wouldn't he find more to clean up Detroit or Chicago?

Putting him in L.A. is like putting him in Tampa Bay... Punisher and palm trees don't mix.

Heh, there's more than a few places back in Bristol that Frank would've abso-f*cking-lutely loved to dig around in. I think he'd like the UK.

I really like the first two pics. As far as favourites go, Frank's always in the top 5 for me.

Shit comic. Nothing will ever top Ennis.

Looks good, pretty sure about 1000 criminals are getting ready to die!
For Punisher on screen, they need to incorporate more of Punisher's military background and training, that shit would be badass to see!

I'm excited but what's the deal with his vest? Must not want to get shot in the nips. Screw vital organs. Protect the nips!

Wish they would make punisher cool again...like back in the Jim Lee days

Bring back Punisher War Journal, that shit was badass!

Punisher is an idea that was worn out over 20 years ago. He has big guns. He shoots people. You read one Punisher comic you have read them all.

The best and quintessential Punisher is Garth Ennis' run.

In our lifetimes, we will never see another writer handle him with as much care. Ennis knew what this character was all about. Everything else pales in comparison and almost comes off as a joke.
