New Punisher have the police in hot pursuit investigating his life, but the very villains that put him in this position are well aware that he's coming as reports of a fresh Punisher sighting begin to circulate. Where this new Punisher excels is by putting a target on the back of its title character immediately. It's not Frank Castle doing all this, it's a newcomer called Joe Garrison, another former black-ops soldier with a tragic backstory. Guy with a skull outfit goes through New York's Underworld hunting down and killing criminals, he's even got some help from an associate in a series of safe houses. Sound familiar? It may be a different guy doing all of these things but fundamentally this is a reskin of your traditional Punisher story. Writer David Pepose and artist Dave Wachter are the team behind the new series, simply titled Punisher, which gives readers a new character with a skull logo, a gun, and a taste for dead criminals. But that can't stop Marvel Comics from publishing Punisher comics, so a new Punisher has to be born. Rather than going by that moniker, Frank now wanders Weirdworld protecting children, sans guns, sans skull, and just going by his God given name. In a series from writer Jason Aaron and artists Jesús Saiz & Paul Azaceta, Frank Castle gave up his iconic skull symbol and took up a sword to lead The Hand, this eventually resulted in him being banished to another realm entirely, leaving the Earth-616 without a Punisher. Earlier this year Marvel Comics made perhaps their most drastic change to The Punisher since they made him a Frankenstein's monster.
