Marvel ’s new seriesPunisher2099has release , a sort of reboot of the original serial publication from 1993 . The young series contain several elements from the original , yet also feels evocative to other dystopian future construct see in other medium such asBlack MirrororMinority Report .
The new series comes from writing team Lonnie Nadler and Zac Thompson with artists Matt Horak , Eoin Marron , and Rachelle Rosenberg . Punisher 2099brings back many ideas from the original series from 1993 , such as a violentgroup of Thor - worshipers , now known as the Thorite Cult rather than the Church of Thor as it was premise in ' 93 . Furthermore , the secret police force force is The Public Eye , still abide by mega - corporationAlchemax in the year 2099 .
Here ’s where much of the report changes and those newfangled but intimate concepts are inclose : the Punisher himself is young character Hector Tago , a police policeman with Public Eye . His command officer is Jake Gallows , though it ’s not quite exonerated if Gallows wasonce the Punisher like he was in the ' 93 serial . Every citizen in Nueva York is give a social account evaluation . The more good they do in the eyes of Alchemax , the high their grievance and the better their socio - economical status .

However , the more he investigates , the more his own social score free fall .

The idea of socioeconomic gobs and rating totally bring in theBlack MirrorepisodeNosediveto mind , star Bryce Dallas Howard , where her dire efforts to elevate her societal sexual conquest in parliamentary law to get a effective housing situation and vocation lead to her score tanking and ruin her life . Also , the concepts of the IRIS retention technical school and having the power that be tamper with aver retentiveness for their own agendas sense very reminiscent toMinority Report . In that future , the police expend the clairvoyant memories of psychic to solve crimes before they happen , however those memories get tampered with as well with dark intent .

While this first issue does a right chore of introducing the world and the unfairness within it that involve to be decline by the new Punisher , the issue does n’t do so well in its presentation of the actual Punisher himself . Tago just show upwearing the Punisher armorat the issues ’s end with no real mention to where he got it . Did he steal it from Gallows or make it himself ? Again , it ’s indecipherable if the Jake Gallows in this consequence was once the Punisher of 2099 prior to Tago , or if the name is just a fun Punisher east wind egg . In any case , the world face Tago is one that feel like a reboot of its own past dystopian future from ' 93 , as well as combining recognisable dystopian future conception see elsewhere to produce a sort of collage of injustice in need of punishment .
