    Nerd Initiative - Matthew Roth Oct 15, 2025

    The Punisher Red Band #2 builds the anticipation and suspense by laying out Fisk's plans through a creative monologue matched with artwork showing Fisk in a way we have truly never seen him before. This is Fisk on a level that will shock fans without question. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke Oct 15, 2025

    Punisher: Red Band #2 doubles down on everything that made the debut issue hit hard, brutal violence, razor-sharp pacing, and a haunting, unstoppable version of Frank Castle that feels equal parts Terminator and tragedy. Ben Percy's script slices right to the bone, while Julius Ohta's artwork drenches every page in atmosphere and dread. It's a story of power, manipulation, and rage unchained... the kind of raw, adult storytelling that earns its "Red Band label. Read Full Review

    Plot
    Frank Castle takes the gun from the old woman who treated him, also takes the car keys, and heads off to stop a truck with a container containing people who are about to be sent to another country for human trafficking. Kingpin gives the Punisher the coordinates.

    Kingpin constantly orders Punisher what to do; his control is absolute. Kingpin self-flagellates while Frank eliminates his targets, in a kind of twisted ritual. Kingpin has Punisher's right-hand man, Micro, tortured in a chair. Kingpin extracts all the information he needs to understand Punisher's way of thinking.

    Punisher intercepts the truck and injures the driver, almost taking the wheel. This sequence is mesmerizing.

    I could do without the graphic brutality, but I love the cinematic feel of the story and artwork. I was never a huge Punisher fan, but this book is turning me into one.

    I'm stillnot a fan of the artwork of this book. Frank looks out of proportion. Kingpin is now religious for some reason, since he whips himself, which is a religious act. I do like the plot of Frank being controled by the Kingpin, but is unaware of it. The old lady outs him to the cops and Tombstone makes an appearance. I also liked the R-rated version of the Raiders truck scene. Keep it up Percy.

    What you're seeing here isn't a comic worthy of attention, but rather some woke shit whose websites (which no one cares about) rate it as a 10, when, for them, comics should be just that: stupid fun and that's it. The kind of mentality of a teenager (which we understand so far), but what makes the praise even more bizarre in the face of this shit is that they come from nerdy adults (which in itself has always been a derogatory term) who want to set this rotten example for people. So, BE CAREFUL! Read this crap online, DON'T BUY IT! DON'T CONSUME IT! You won't see anything here, nothing violent or gory enough to impress you. Castle is practically a poorly made animation, and its 80s sidekicks, like Microship, are in the clutches of Wilson Fi more
