Released 2/5/2014
Frank Castle heads west—and the war follows. In this relaunch by Nathan Edmondson and Mitch Gerads, the Punisher leaves New York behind for Los Angeles, chasing a lead on a major criminal syndicate trafficking drugs and weapons. But the City of Angels is no sanctuary: a highly trained military hit squad is hunting him, and the streets are crawling with new enemies. Caught between his own targets and those targeting him, Frank’s one-man war escalates into a brutal showdown that tests his resolve and tactics.
This issue kicks off a 20-part run that redefines Castle’s mission with cinematic grit and a fresh setting. Gerads’ art captures the smoggy sprawl of L.A. and the raw intensity of Frank’s crusade, while Edmondson’s writing explores the psychological toll of vigilantism. It’s a Punisher story that blends noir, action, and moral ambiguity—with no safe exits.
