During a speech on the Comic Book Couples Counseling podcast, the cartoonist said Garth Ennis has confirmed that he is working on a new Punisher story likely to be released sometime in 2022. The story, set at the time of the war in Vietnam, will also see the presence of Nick Fury.
“I have to say that there will likely be another Punisher comic later this year” said Ennis.”A story set in Vietnam that connects the series Nick Fury and Born. Find out what happened between the two events and how it ended in Fire Base Valley Forge“.
Ennis added that too The story might surprise Punisher fans in terms of its origins: “The transformation from Frank’s skill to almost the joy of fighting isn’t a straight line. It wasn’t as inevitable as readers might think, as you will learn in this story“.
Ennis’ stories about Frank Castle are among the most influential in the character’s release history. After writing Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe in 1995, Ennis has written two Punisher series, released under the Marvel Knights and Marvel MAX labels, aimed at adult audiences, as well as numerous spin-off miniseries.
Recently, Marvel has chosen to distance itself from the character’s historical iconography, with the iconic Punisher skull logo abandoned in favor of a more elaborate fantasy emblem. Even the Frank Castle stories have undergone a distortion, with the character becoming part of the ninja of the hand and beginning to use katanas and swords to replace the classic firearms.
Despite criticism from fandom, Marvel Editor Tom Brevoort praised the series’ new storyline, comparing it to Daredevil Rebirth in terms of importance to the character.
