Punisher Leads Street-Level Heroes Against Marvel Zombies in New WAR ZONE Series

Frank Castle, the Punisher, is diving headfirst into the Marvel Zombies universe this September. Marvel announced WAR ZONE, a new five-issue limited series, pits the brutal vigilante against the undead horde in a desperate fight for answers.

New York City has fallen. A zombie outbreak rapidly overran Manhattan, leaving Earth's Mightiest Heroes unable to stop it. Now, NYC is a sealed quarantine zone, a brutal war zone where survivors battle the ever-growing horde. But Frank Castle isn't just surviving; he's on a relentless hunt for the outbreak's origin, carving a bloody swath through the ravaged city.

He won't be alone in this nightmare. The Punisher will lead a formidable team of street-level heroes: Luke Cage, Elektra, Iron Fist, and Moon Knight. This ragtag group is humanity's last hope to uncover the plague's source and breach the barrier before the infection consumes everything.

Tom Waltz, known for his gruesome work on Wolverine: Blood Hunt and Knull, pens the series. He brings his military-horror sensibilities to this darker Marvel tale. Jaime Infante makes his fearsome Marvel Comics debut on art, promising deep shadows and violent action. This is a significant shift, taking Marvel Zombies from cosmic threats to a grounded, visceral street fight. Fans of grim, no-holds-barred action will want to watch this one.
