Punisher Noir #1
In "Home Is Where the War Is," writer Frank Tieri and artist Paul Azaceta launch a gritty, grounded take on the Punisher mythos, reimagining Frank Castelione—a World War I veteran turned grocer—as a man trying to rebuild his life in postwar America. When his quiet existence is shattered by a mob boss’s demand for protection money, Castelione’s past as a soldier collides with a brutal present, forcing him to confront the violence he thought he’d left behind. The stark, atmospheric art by Azaceta and Nick Filardi, paired with Tim Bradstreet’s intense cover, sets a foreboding tone for a story where peace is fragile and revenge is inevitable.
