Marvel fans at San Diego Comic-Con were in for a surprise as the comic book giant revealed exciting details about its latest Punisher installment. With the iconic Frank Castle stepping out of the limelight, a fresh face is taking over the mantle and vowing to wage a one-man war on crime. Meet Joe Garrison, a former SHIELD black ops agent who will be the new Punisher in the Marvel Universe.
The new Punisher comic, illustrated by Dave Wachter and featuring cover art by Rod Reis, promises an intriguing and action-packed storyline penned by David Pepose, known for his work on Savage Avengers. As the new creative team sets the stage for Joe Garrison’s debut, fans are left with much anticipation about how this new character will compare to the retired Frank Castle.
In an official press release, David Pepose shared his insights into Joe Garrison’s character, stating, “The man might be different, but the punishment remains the same. I wanted to introduce the Danny Ketch to Frank’s Johnny Blaze.” With this comparison, it’s clear that the essence of Punisher’s mission will remain intact, even with a new protagonist taking the lead.
Pepose also emphasized the importance of inclusivity, aiming to welcome both existing and new fans to the Punisher series. He assured readers that the story would retain the gritty attitude and action that fans have come to love, while also enticing a broader audience to join the vigilante’s thrilling journey.
For those unfamiliar with the most recent Punisher comics, the series concluded with Frank Castle renouncing his war on crime and his role as the Hand’s Fist of the Beast. Instead, he found himself marooned in the Weirdworld dimension, protecting displaced children affected by a devastating war. Frank’s days of killing are seemingly over, but Joe Garrison’s introduction indicates that the Punisher’s mission is far from finished.
Now, the burning question remains: Is Joe Garrison cut out to carry the weight of the Punisher’s legacy and continue what Frank Castle started? Marvel fans and comic enthusiasts eagerly await the answers as the new volume unfolds.
