Punisher: Red Band #5

Frank Castle dominates the center of this tense cover by Marco Checchetto, his skull emblem front and center as he levels a shotgun and a pistol with cold, focused resolve — flanked on either side by two formidable adversaries, a heavyset man in a lab coat raising his own weapon and a blue-skinned, suited figure doing the same. It's a charged three-way standoff that captures everything the "Urban Warfare" story title promises. Benjamin Percy and Julius Ohta's 2026 Red Band series continues to push Frank into uncompromising territory, and issue #5 looks like no exception.
