ROUND 1
The Main Event!
***Please understand this blog post was written before the terrible events that took place on 9/10/2025. We are shocked and saddened by these acts of violence, and the reactions they have caused some people to so quickly jump to.***
Welcome back to the main event! The fighters are in the ring, and the crowd is electric!
In the left corner, a cold, calculated brawler with a thirst for vengeance, it’s the resurrected legend, Punisher: Red Band #1! This issue is a juggernaut of pure instinct and brutal fury, brought to you by the hard-hitting team of Benjamin Percy and Julius Ohta. Frank Castle is back in the ring, but with no memory of his past, he's a loose cannon primed for an all-out, street-level war. This fight is a polybagged, no-holds-barred slugfest, promising a blood-soaked and violent knockout!
On the right, a cerebral fighter who has left the past behind for a new challenge, it’s the methodical marksman, Red Hood #1! This comic is a neo-noir detective bout, a true display of skill and tactical fighting from the dynamic duo of Gretchen Felker-Martin and Jeff Spokes. Jason Todd is now in a new city, stepping into the darkness of a criminal conspiracy and a superpowered serial killer. This mature, in-continuity series is a gritty mystery, where every punch reveals a clue in a fight to save his new home.
Will it be Punisher: Red Band #1? Or will it be Red Hood #1?
Who gets their hand raised?

Punisher: Red Band #1
