Punisher 2099 is another title from the 2099 alternate future line from Marvel in the early 1990s.
Much like the original character — who began as a villain in Amazing Spider-Man #129— the Punisher of 2099 is driven by revenge against the criminals who killed his family.
The series started out very strongly after a preview in Punisher War Journal #50; the first issue went to two printings. Like most of the 2099 titles, the downturn in comics during the mid-'90s led to faltering sales in the year to follow, leading ultimately to the series' cancellation in late 1995.
