Marvel Characters Get Punisherized In Ario Anindito’s Hell’s Kitchen Variant Covers

What if every character was The Punisher? It’s a great question with exactly zero ethical or moral implications, but it does imply a lot of cool t-shirts. So if you’ve ever wondered that, get ready to be thrilled by artist Ario Anindito’s Hell’s Kitchen Variant Covers, which will roll out on Marvel books throughout February of 2026.

“I was really excited and honored when Marvel asked me to do the HELL’S KITCHEN cover program!” Anindito said via press release. “It’s such a cool chance to dive deeper into the characters and give them a darker vibe, designing a gritty look and adding a badass tactical goth-rocker twist. These characters are already iconic, so it’s definitely a challenge, but also really fun to do. I drew inspirations from re-reading the Punisher MAX series and re-watching the ’98 Blade movie. Let’s just say these HELL’S KITCHEN versions are the last ones you’d want to mess with!”

While street level characters like Spider-Man and Moon Knight make a sort of sense, you will never be able to unsee Knull in a T-shirt. Sorry.
