The Punisher, Vol. 1: The Jigsaw Agenda

The Punisher (2026)

by Benjamin Percy, David Márquez (Cover Art), José Luís Soares (Illustrator)

Crime's worst nightmare is back!

As unflinching and uncompromising as ever, Frank Castle’s memory is damaged and he’s hunting for answers and criminals alike! He'll get more than he bargained for of both when the notorious and bloodthirsty Jigsaw returns — and this time, he’s not launching all-out assaults or wars in the street! Instead, he’s taking a more surgical approach to dismantling the Punisher, targeting his body, mind and soul with a game of death designed to spill innocent blood and to push Frank Castle to his absolute limit!

Reviews

[Keegan Schueler · Rating 4 out of 5]

While not as incredible as the red band this is still a great start to the official punisher relaunch. Jigsaw and the one issue with the new villain are both great in this which feels needed for a punisher return. Wish Frank was more talkative but still just excited for what’s next.
