The Punisher Heads to Los Angeles in New Marvel Comics Preview

Los Angeles isn't generally a place where you see too many pasty white guys walking around wearing heavy black outfits and carrying guns--but all that's going to change next month as The Punisher goes Hollywood. The second issue in the anticipated All-New Marvel NOW! relaunch of the character, the series is being written by Who Is Jake Ellis? author Nathan Edmonson with art by Mitch Gerads. The first issue hits on February 5, and this issue comes two weeks later. Check out the preview pages and official description below.

This February, Frank Castle continues his journey out west in THE PUNISHER #2 – and the City of Angels has no idea what it's in for! From blockbuster writer Nathan Edmondson and red-hot artist Mitch Gerads – a lead on a major source of guns and drugs finds Punisher hot on the tail of the Dos Soles gang. But when he finds himself in the crosshairs of dozens of armed thugs – they'll find the Punisher isn't so easily dispatched! Now, with the help of some unlikely allies (including a coyote), the stage is set for Frank to wage his war on crime on the streets of L.A. – if he lives that long! Los Angeles is also home to some of the Marvel Universe's big baddies, and you'll never believe who's turf Frank just stepped on!
