Punisher 2099 #1

Marvel Knights 2099 takes the Punisher legend a century forward with this striking one-shot from writer Robert Kirkman and artist Pop Mhan. The cover, by Pat Lee and Dreamwave Productions, presents two heavily armed figures in black tactical gear — a woman bearing the unmistakable skull emblem across her chest and carrying a large rifle, standing back-to-back with a blond young man clutching a handgun — all set against a blood-red, looming skull motif that makes the series' tone unmistakably clear. It's a confident reimagining of vigilante justice in the far future, and a compelling reason to see what 2004's Marvel Knights line had in store for 2099.
