Oct 15, 2025Punisher: 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

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. Tombstone, on the other hand, needs to know w more

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. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/7E_Q50lPQ5U

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.

Not as intriguing as the first issue. Still had fun, just didn't really get what I wanted for a second issue.
