Leftist writer who worked on Punisher developing comic at Image about "revenge"
The Hollywood Reporter announced leftist writer Matthew Rosenberg, who previously worked on the Punisher, is now developing a comic at Image with a pretty long title:
And what's this about the Punisher having "crime roots"? It was already established he worked outside the law and was wanted by it, even if he went after violent criminals who practically deserved whatever they got. The mission of revenge was also well established as being Frank's respone to his wife and child being murdered by mobsters, until Jason Aaron was permitted to take even that much apart. There's nothing to be excited about coming from another modern leftist scribe who's got no love for Marvel, and whom the media are sadly promoting as the best new "talent" based on his politics. This new item from Image only makes clear why they've long been irrelevant.
In a comic run that was published in the mid and late 2010s, writer Matthew Rosenberg and artist Stefano Landini took the character of Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, away from his crime roots and put him deep into the Marvel Universe on a mission of revenge.It won't be the least bit shocking if it all draws from a left-wing notion of what "revenge" should be. And if Rosenberg's got a film adaptation in the works, it figures somebody like him would get all the offers in Hollywood that a conservative likely wouldn't. Would that "world order" happen to be "right-wing"? Well it won't be a shock if that's what the story's a metaphor for. One more reason why the brutality in this new miniseries is bound to be very alienating.
Revenge is still on the Rosenberg and Landini’s mind, but in a very non-Marvel way, as the duo reunite for a creator-owned comic titled We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us. The all-new, six issue miniseries will kick off in March 2025 from Image Comics with an extra-length first issue.
The story follows a 13-year-old girl named Annalise who’s left all alone in the world after her mad-scientist father is killed by the world’s greatest spy. Now, alongside her dead dad’s robot bodyguard, Annalise has a choice: try to lead a normal life for the first time ever or seek revenge and maybe overthrow the world order in the process.
“There’s only so many great motivating factors in stories and the most powerful ones are love and revenge, so when you can have a story that has both…,” said Rosenberg, speaking to The Hollywood Reporter from Dublin, Ireland, where another one of his creator-owned comics, 4 Kids Walks Into a Bank, is filming as an adaptation starring Liam Neeson and Jack Dylan Grazer. “We wanted to do a pretty brutal revenge story that has a lot of love and compassion and see how those ideas touch each other.”
