Marvel Comics executive editor Tom Brevoort is laying out lofty goals for Jason Aaron, Jesus Saiz, and Paul Azaceta's upcoming Punisher limited series which puts Frank Castle under the command of ninja criminals the Hand, compa🦄ring the upcoming story to Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's landmark story , 🧸which redefined Matt Murdock's place in the Marvel Universe.

🍷"The best way I've been able to describe it to people so that they can understand what it is, we set out to craf♛t a story that was, to Frank Castle, sort of what 'Born Again' was to Daredevil," Brevoort states in an interview with Forbidden Planet TV.

Brevoo൩rt goes on to describe the new Punisher series as a "transformative experience" that will "redefine an🍃d change Frank Castle in very meaningful ways."

Brevoort's description echoes series writer Jason Aaron's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:previous statements on the title.

"This story is the destined next step in the dark and tragic evolution of Frank Castle, from troubled kid to heroic soldier to revenge-driven vigilante…to the duly anointed King of Killers. Believe me when I say, I am as excited abo✅ut this story as anything I’ve ever written for Marvel." Aaron stated at the time of the title's announcement, with Marvel editor-in-chief CB Cebulski also promising the "inevitable evolution" of the controversial character in the story.

What might that evolution look like? Wel♓l, it may have something to do with moving him away from his murderous methods as a gun-toting vigilante bearing a symbol of death on his chest.

Punisher's logo, which undergoes a change in the new title (however long t🎃🌠he new version may last), has become a source of controversy when displayed by members of law enforcement organizations and the military, especially as the issues of militarized policing and police violence have become prevalent topics in the United States. 

Widespread criticism of the i𒁏ssue has centered on Punisher's violent tactic༺s, which go far above and beyond the bounds of what US law allows police and military officers to do in the line of duty, with little to no oversight or consequences.

So what can move Punisher away from those themes? Though previous attempts to redefine Frank Castle have made 🥂him a heavenly avenger and even a rebuilt zombie monster, the latest attempt at moving Punisher forward from his traditional legacy seems to center on something in Frank's past - whi꧋ch may likely tie into his upcoming association with the Hand.

"It delves very de💟eply into Frank Castle's youth and upbringing and history as we learn the various forces throughout his life that guided him to becoming the Punisher, even before the deaths of his fami🉐ly in that Central Park shooting," Brevoort explains. "And we're really trying to make something that is an enormous touchstone for the character."

Could this imply that the new Punisher title will establish a previously unknown element of Frank Castle's background that in some way explai⛄ns or redefines his actions as a v﷽igilante killer? We may find out when arrives on March 9.

Daredevil: Born Again centered on the Kingpin learning Matt Murdock's secret identity - a memory he recovered in the current Devil's Reign limited series.
