Time to head to frown town as Marvel is showing no signs of a Punisher slowdown with the announcement of Punisher: Showdowns, a new series of one-shots hitting stores starting in October.
Written by Tom Waltz, the series of issues will pit Frank Castle against Black Widow, Wolverine, and Winter Soldier, with each releasing monthly through December.
“Landing the PUNISHER SHOWDOWNS gig right on the heels of my work on MARVEL ZOMBIES: WAR ZONE is far from a punishment, let me tell you!” said Waltz via press release. “The Punisher has always been one of my favorite comic-book characters, all the way back to the first time I witnessed him doing battle with Daredevil in the classic DAREDEVIL (1964) #183. And now I get to showcase untold Punisher missions, culling from some of my favorite Marvel lore, and featuring three other fascinating super heroes with dark histories: Black Widow, Wolverine, and Winter Soldier. Rest assured, widows will sting, claws will slash, and bullets will fly. I couldn’t be more ecstatic to join my amazing art teams for this bombastic ride!”
