11 Reasons You're Wrong About Marvel Legacy

2. Garth Ennis Back On Punisher

Punisher The Platoon Marvel Legacy
Marvel Comics

Ask any hardcore Punisher fan what their favourite run on the character is, and they'll probably extol the greatness of Punisher Max - a series written and drawn by Garth Ennis and and the late Steve Dillon respectively.

One particular story from that series, which didn't have Dillon on art duties, was Born - an arc that focused on Frank Castle's days in Vietnam. It was a massive hit, and encouraged a collective reappraisal of the character's origins and in particular his relationship with violence. Now - in 2017 - we'll finally be getting a follow-up: The Platoon.

Ennis is this time joined by Goran Parlov - his collaborator on the original story - in a series that will explore the months leading up to the Valley Forge incident. That's pretty exciting even if you're not a Punisher fan, especially since it's been a little over eight years since Ennis was last able to write Frank Castle, and particularly so, given the high regard in which Born is commonly discussed.
