About the series
Becky Cloonan’s 2016–2018 run on The Punisher for Marvel reframes Frank Castle as a fugitive on the run, stripped of his usual urban stomping grounds and forced into a more primal, survivalist mode. With moody covers by Tim Bradstreet and visceral interiors by Steve Dillon, this 28-issue series pushes the character into a dark, almost horror-tinged territory as he confronts a mysterious cult and his own bloody legacy. It’s a lean, intense chapter that redefines the Punisher’s war, emphasizing his isolation and the brutal cost of his crusade.
