The Punisher is all set to be War Machine in Marvel Comics, and we have got a stunning look at what this will look like.
Clayton Crain shared his cover for The Punisher #219. The art, which you can see below shows Frank Castle in War Machine attire, standing while flanked by tanks.
The news of Punisher becoming War Machine was confirmed in July after a cover that mashed up the two characters and was teased as part of Marvel Legacy. While some fans have not been on board with this idea, others have warmed up, and this is thanks to the storytelling possibilities.
“Putting Frank in Rhodey’sarmor felt so wrong to me at first. It felt almost blasphemous.” The series’ writer, Matthew Rosenberg, said in a recent interview. “It wasn’t until I realized this wasn’t a superhero story anymore that I got it. This isn’t a celebration of the Punisher taking on the mantle of War Machine and becoming a hero. This is a look into how easily War Machine can become overshadowed by the Punisher when it falls into the wrong hands.”
