Amos’s Tip:

When The Punisher shows up, the tone changes instantly. No jokes, no flashy theatrics — just raw consequences. You’ve got the Warriors mid-battle, but looming over it all is that skull… like judgment already passed. This is early-run New Warriors stepping into darker territory, and it hits with weight.
