Lionsgate has launched an new interactive comic book for Punisher: War Zone that uses video and text to build up the background story of The Punisher. The comic features chapters and the final one ends as a teaser to the actual film. It’s kind of a novelty, so check it out before you see the film that opens Friday December 5.

Punisher: War Zone was directed by Lexi Alexander and stars Ray Stevenson, Dominic West, Doug Hutchinson, Colin Salmon, Wayne Knight, Dash Mihok and Julie Benz. The story is about a ruthless vigilante-hero Frank Castle wages his own one-man war on the world of organized crime and sets his sights on unrelenting mob boss Billy Russoti. After Russoti is left horribly disfigured by Castle, he sets out for vengeance under his new alias: Jigsaw. Frank has also become a bad guy with the FBI hot on his trail and they can’t take in Jigsaw, Frank must stand up to the formidable army that Jigsaw has recruited before more of his evil actions go with impunity.
