Spider-Man: Brand New Day will find Peter Parker and Frank Castle tackling each other on the big screen for the first time, and alongside the appearance, Marvel Comics will publish Punisher Vs. Spider-Man, a new five-issue series retelling their earliest encounters.
That starts with Amazing Spider-Man #129, which will be retold by Dan Abnett and Matteo Della Fonte, as the duo of heroes (?) are forced to team up.
“I’m very happy to be writing these two characters in a head-to-head together, and to be revisiting the Punisher, a character I haven’t written since YEAR ONE in the nineties,” said Abnett via press release. “The series is a whole lot of fun and full of big action, and some genuine surprises as they learn stuff about each other for the first time. That’s the real joy of going back to this pivotal early point in continuity: there’s a freshness in their encounters and interactions that I think readers are really going to get a kick out of.”
Punisher Vs. Spider-Man #1 hits stores on July 15, 2026. Check out covers by Jonas Scharf and Netho Diaz, a few unlettered interior pages, and the synopsis below:
THE PUNISHER AND SPIDER-MAN, two of the most notorious names in New York City with very different approaches to making the Big Apple safer (or not, depending on who you ask!). Brought together by happenstance and forced to stay that way by an ally from Frank Castle’s past in need, will the web-slinger and the gunslinger be able to begrudgingly set aside their differences before they find themselves at one another’s throats?!
