Ed Brisson and Declan Shalvey Introduce Barracuda to Marvel Universe in Punisher vs. Barracuda

Published Thu, 23 Jan 2020 13:39:21 -0600

In April, Punisher Max villain (and not the Heart song that is definitely about a vibrator) Barracuda will make a Marvel Universe proper debut in a new mini-series by Canadian Hero Ed Brisson and Art-Cred-Man Declan Shalvey aptly titled Punisher vs. Barracuda. The five-issue prestige series (prestige being a term which here means "with at least three variant covers") takes the titular Punisher to Miami, Florida where Barracuda has just broken out of jail.

The solicit isn't very kind to the fine state of Florida, referring to it as "a gangland filled with extremely dangerous and sadistic killers." Actually, that's kind of taking it easy on Florida, now that we think about it.

Check out the solicit below, and Marvel's full April solicitations here.
