Punisher takes on Black Widow, Wolverine + Winter Soldier in new Marvel one-shots

Tom Waltz teams with Greg Land, Bruno Büll and Edgar Salazar for three oversized stories about Frank Castle’s anti-social tendencies.

The Punisher’s not exactly a “plays well with others” kind of guy, and that’ll come into play in a series of one-shots arriving later this year.

Marvel has announced Punisher Showdowns by writer Tom Waltz and several different artists, which will pit Frank Castle against Black Widow, Wolverine and the Winter Soldier beginning this October.
