Review: The Punisher: One Last Kill

Wed, 13 May 2026 14:38:00 +0000

During a very popular Punisher period in the late ‘80s to early ‘90s, Frank Castle starred in many brutal, isolated stories. While there was sometimes a small bit of continuity and lore in the mix, they were mostly grab and go stories that didn’t have much impact on the greater comic universe around it. The Punisher: One Last Kill is much like those stories. If you were hoping for something to pay off Franks’s last appearance in Daredevil: Born Again, or to set-up Spider-Man: Brand New Day, then this may not be what you’re looking for. But if you enjoy the concept of Frank Castle killing his way through a The Raid-type scenario, then this is the “Marvel Special Presentation" for you.

Read below for our spoiler-heavy review:

One Last Kill spends much of its opening focused on Frank Castle’s grief, portraying him as a man who has completely unraveled. He has reached his lowest point. Frank locks away his weapons, visits his family’s graves, leaves behind the key, and even contemplates taking his own life. Yet, in classic Punisher fashion, he pushes forward and makes his way back to his apartment building.

Things take a turn when a mysterious woman approaches him, claiming she has also lost her family. Frank listens closely, perhaps believing she may offer him a new purpose or another mission to keep him going. The encounter is quickly exposed as a setup. The woman is revealed to be Ma Gnucci, the ruthless mob matriarch whose family Frank previously wiped out. She has placed a bounty on his head, turning every armed thug in the city loose on him.

From there, One Last Kill shifts gears from psychological character study into a brutal showcase of the Punisher’s deadly skill set. Waves of gunmen descend on Frank, giving him free rein to shoot, stab, and fight his way through the housing project, across the chaotic streets, and eventually into a small neighborhood shop. The climax perfectly captures Frank Castle’s contradictory nature, blending relentless brutality with his lingering protective instincts that delivers one final, unforgettable kill.

Well, almost. Early in the episode, we’re shown just how chaotic and lawless Frank’s New York neighborhood has become. In the last scene that opening setup pays off with a crowd-pleasing sequence that would make John Wick proud.

Marc Spector Returns In Surprise Comic Book Moon Knight: Fist Of Khonshu #0

Wed, 26 Jun 2024 17:39:54 +0000

In today’s pulse-pounding Blood Hunt #4, the tide of battle shifted thanks to the intervention of the newly-freed Khonshu, who unleashed his army of past Moon Knights on the vampire hordes, including his most recent fallen avatar—Marc Spector! With Marc Spector resurrected, a new phase of Moon Knight storytelling begins this October in MOON KNIGHT: FIST OF KHONSHU #1. The new series is the latest evolution of Jed MacKay and Alessandro Cappuccio’s redefining run that began in 2021’s Moon Knight and continued in the wake of Marc’s death in the current Vengeance of the Moon Knight series.

To herald the launch, comic shops received a special surprise shadow drop variant edition of MOON KNIGHT: FIST OF KHONSHU #0 this week! This unannounced issue follows up on the events of Blood Hunt #4 and not only is it an essential chapter, it’s also a perfect starting point for readers who want to jump into one of the hottest modern Marvel sagas. The issue underscores the scope of MacKay and Cappuccio’s riveting take on the Moon Knight mythos by spotlighting the now-iconic crew of the Midnight Mission, shedding light on recent developments, and setting the stage for Marc Spector’s next era! This week, retailers received a variant cover of MOON KNIGHT: FIST OF KHONSHU #0 by Cappuccio, but they can immediately order copies of the issue featuring a main cover by E.M. Gist to be delivered for a 7/3 on-sale date.

FULL MOON RISING! As an avatar and agent of the Egyptian God of the Moon, Khonshu, former mercenary Marc Spector has died and come back to life on more than one occasion. To the ignorant, his fate beyond death’s grasp may seem idyllic, but being chosen as a fists of Khonshu comes with a heavy cost! And, like bones in a street fight, Marc Spector, and the multitudes he contains, may be about to break!

"The father, freed. The son, returned. Marc Spector, Jake Lockley and Stephen Grant hit the streets once more as Moon Knight, and he's making up for lost time,” MacKay shared. “The streets have changed since Moon Knight died, and I'm excited to explore how he deals with all-new threats to his territory along with fellow Midnight Missionaries Alessandro Cappucio, Rachelle Rosenberg and Devmalya Pramanik! MOON KNIGHT: FIST OF KHONSHU #1 marks the 40th issue of our time with Moon Knight- and we've got plenty more that we're looking forward to sharing with you!"

Inquire with your local comic shop regarding the availability of the all-new main cover of MOON KNIGHT: FIST OF KHONSHU #0 and be there when Marc Spector returns to lead the Midnight Mission this October in MOON KNIGHT: FIST OF KHONSHU #1. Check out both issues’ cover now and get a look at Moon Knight’s all-new look that debuted in Blood Hunt #4!

NYC Renaming Street After Iconic Artist Jack Kirby

Fri, 08 May 2026 14:46:03 +0000

New York City is officially co-naming a block of Essex Street on the Lower East Side as "Jack Kirby Way" in honor of the legendary Marvel co-creator. The street sign unveiling ceremony is scheduled for Monday, May 11, at 12:00 PM at the northwest corner of Essex and Delancey Streets. In July 2025, the corner was temporarily renamed as a promotional event for the film The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

The renamed block is where Jack Kirby (born Jacob Kurtzberg) was born and raised. The neighborhood served as the real-life inspiration for Yancy Street, the fictional home of Ben Grimm (aka The Thing) from the Fantastic Four.

The move recognizes Kirby's immense influence on 20th-century pop culture and his role as a "son of the Lower East Side" who helped birth modern superhero mythology. The permanent designation follows a year-long campaign led by pop culture historian Roy Schwartz and supported by City Council Member Christopher Marte. Kirby now joins another comic book icon with a NYC street name, Stan Lee (Stan Lee Way in the Bronx).
