The Punisher Takes On Spider-Man In New Comic

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is about to put Jon Bernthal's Punisher and Tom Holland's Spider-Man against one another in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Ahead of the film's release, Peter Parker and Frank Castle will also cross paths in a new one-shot.

Punisher vs. Spider-Man #1 by Dan Abnett, Matteo Della Fonte, and Rachelle Rosenberg follows the two titular characters in one of their earliest meetings. Will Punisher and Spider-Man be able to stand each other as they are forced to work together? The two conflicting styles of being a "hero" will certainly clash.

Punisher vs. Spider-Man #1 features main cover art by Jonas Scharf with variants coming from Dave Johnson, Dike Ruan, and Whilce Portacio. Additionally, Netho Diaz will draw a 1:25 incentive variant that hasn't yet been revealed. Check out the main cover art and text solicit below.

A WALK DOWN MEMORY PAIN!

THE PUNISHER AND SPIDER-MAN, two of the most notorious names in New York City with very different approaches to making the Big Apple safer (or not, depending on who you ask!). Join us now for a trip to the days of their earliest encounters with returning fan-favorite writer DAN ABNETT (PUNISHER: YEAR ONE) and your new favorite artist, MATTEO DELLA FONTE! Brought together by happenstance and forced to stay that way by an ally from Frank Castle's past in need, will the web-slinger and the gunslinger be able to begrudgingly set aside their differences before they find themselves at one another's throats?!

Punisher vs. Spider-Man #1 arrives at CaptCan Comics on July 15th, 2026. Pre-order the issue now to ensure you don't miss out.
