So, we have a new Punisher of the Marvel Universe, in today's Punisher #1 from David Pepose and Dave Wachter. Frank Castle is off in some Otherworld fighting the bad fight, who is this fellow, and what is his background and that of his compatriots?

Well, like Frank Castle, he has a dead family.

And officially he's a retired accountant.

Joe Garrison, husband of Stephanie Garrison and father of Laura and Danny Garrison. Not any more, obviously.

And he's also prime suspect in their deaths. Which, you know, is a thing that happens.

But Joe Garrison is on the streets dispensing his own form of justice. Something he has done in one shape of form for a while. Because Joe Garrison was SHIELD, back when SHIELD was a thing.

And his "Microchip", his man in the van, eye in the sky and voice in his ear, was as well, Triple-A. And also, apparently, that's not meant to be a skull.

But he doesn't mind the association too much, and it's better than the alternative.

And This Punisher has a bit more technology, like the Punisher used to have back in the eighties and early nineties…

Everyone's reviving the nineties these days, aren't they?
