Marvel's The Punisher: 10 Perfect Stories Netflix Could Adapt
1. The Final Days
The Final Days is another story involving Punisher's compadre Micro and The Kingpin. As I've already mentioned, Micro is rumoured to appear in the show, and any story that can bring Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin to The Punisher is a great idea in my book.
In short, Kingpin and drug boss Howard Nees are involved in a bitter drug distribution war, and of course Frank Castle is dragged into the middle of it. Kingpin is worried that Nees will soon overtake him as New York's criminal overlord so kidnaps Frank's long-time friend Micro in order to blackmail Frank to kill Nees. It's a simple story that allows for some wonderful moments between Punisher and Micro, while presenting Punisher with a first season big-bad that the audience will be familiar with and actively hate before the show even begins.
Final Days gives you everything you'd want from a first season of The Punisher - an iconic antagonist, hordes of mobsters for Frank to plough through, a sidekick to show Frank's not all bad at heart - it's the perfect first choice.
