You’re one bad day away from finding out about a brand new miniseries from Jimmy Palmiotti: Daredevil/Punisher: The Devil’s Trigger is a five-issue series from Marvel, coming this November.
“Honestly, writing this series has been a blast and a true gift for me,” Palmiotti shared. “Reconnecting with this storyline, originally sparked during the Marvel Knights era, is pure adrenaline and nostalgia for me and gives me the opportunity to dive deeper into what makes both the Punisher and Daredevil unique in the Marvel Universe. Revisiting these iconic characters and their explosive ideological clash feels like slipping back into a gritty, familiar alleyway for me. The Punisher’s wiped the Gnucci family off the map, but the vacuum doesn’t stay empty for long as Daredevil witnesses the birth of four new crime syndicates as they rise from the ashes to take over the city.”
Alongside art from Tommaso Bianchi, the story will find DD and TP divided by ideologies, a rarity for them because they usually see eye to eye.
“As Daredevil pursues the next wave of criminal empires, Frank’s determined to teach Matt Murdock that permanent justice comes at the barrel of a gun,” Palmiotti continued. “It’s philosophy vs. firepower as Hell’s Kitchen becomes a battleground not just for turf—but for the soul of justice itself. Writing this has been an absolute thrill—almost criminal in how much fun I’m having. Stepping into Matt’s mind has been both a blast and a real gauntlet; the deeper I go, the clearer it becomes: both men are right, and both are wildly wrong. That tension? That moral knife-edge? It’s the heartbeat of this entire series.”
Daredevil/Punisher: The Devil’s Trigger #1 hits stores on November 26. Check out the cover by Kendrick “Kunkka” Lim, below, as well as the official synopsis.
