## Key points

- Marvel has launched a new Spider-Man and Punisher comic crossover.
- It arrives just before their MCU team-up in *Brand New Day*.
- The story revisits their tense first encounters and uneasy alliance.

## Summary

Marvel Comics has announced a new crossover issue, *Punisher Vs. The Amazing Spider-Man #1*, giving fans an earlier Spider-Man and Punisher team-up ahead of their on-screen partnership in *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*. The article frames this as notable because Jon Bernthal’s Punisher and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man are about to share the screen in the MCU, and the comic offers a similar clash of personalities and methods that has long defined the pair’s relationship.

The new comic is written by Dan Abnett, known for *Punisher: Year One*, and revisits the characters’ earliest meetings, when they were pushed into working together despite very different views on violence. In the preview, Frank Castle waits on a rooftop with a rifle before Spider-Man interrupts him, leading to tense banter and references to their first conflict, when Punisher wrongly believed Spider-Man had killed a friend. The article also notes that *Brand New Day* is due on 31 July, adding to the relevance of the comic’s release now.
