Daredevil Punisher: The Devil’s Trigger #1/5 (Releases: NOV 2025)

Marvel Comics Unleashes Daredevil/Punisher: The Devil’s Trigger #1 This November!

Get ready, Marvel fans! The streets of Hell’s Kitchen are about to ignite with the explosive new limited series, Daredevil/Punisher: The Devil’s Trigger #1, hitting comic shops on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. Written by Marvel Knights co-founder Jimmy Palmiotti and illustrated by rising star Tommaso Bianchi, this five-issue miniseries promises to deliver a gritty, action-packed clash between two of Marvel’s most iconic vigilantes: Matt Murdock (Daredevil) and Frank Castle (The Punisher). With stunning cover art by Kendrick “Kunkka” Lim, this series is a must-read for fans of intense, character-driven storytelling.

A Brutal Reunion in Hell’s Kitchen

In The Devil’s Trigger, the ideological war between Daredevil and The Punisher takes center stage. Matt Murdock, the Man Without Fear, fights for justice within the bounds of the law, while Frank Castle, the relentless Punisher, delivers his own brand of lethal retribution. Their conflicting philosophies collide as Frank takes aim at the resurgent Gnucci crime family, whose defeat in the past left a power vacuum in New York’s underworld. As four new crime syndicates rise from the ashes to seize control, Daredevil steps in to prevent Frank’s war from tearing Hell’s Kitchen apart.

Palmiotti, a veteran of Marvel Knights and writer of acclaimed titles like Deadpool and The Punisher, brings his signature grit and nostalgia to this project. “Honestly, writing this series has been a blast and a true gift for me,” Palmiotti shared. “Reconnecting with this storyline, originally sparked during the Marvel Knights era, is pure adrenaline and nostalgia for me and gives me the opportunity to dive deeper into what makes both the Punisher and Daredevil unique in the Marvel Universe.”

This five-issue series, launching under the revived Marvel Knights banner, promises to be one of the most violent and visceral confrontations in Punisher history. Expect high-stakes action, moral dilemmas, and a deep exploration of the ethical divide between Daredevil and The Punisher.
