James Whitbrook of io9reached out to Marvel Comics about the use of the logo . He was told they were " taking severely " any unlicensed use of the Punisher logotype . This get along after comic creators include Matt Wilson ( Supreme Villainy ) , Mags Visaggio(Vagrant Queen ) , Eric Palicki(Dead Beats),and Kat Verhoeven ( center and Bone)were among those who called for Disney to take action . Palicki brought upthat Disney has sued before over unapproved use of the Punisher logo .   In their assertion , Marvel   referenced their previous content against racism and standing with the disastrous residential district .

“ We stand against racism . We remain firm for inclusion . We suffer with our fellow Black employees , storytellers , creators and the entire bleak community . We must unify and verbalise out . ”

The spokesperson also referenced the Punisher ’s own stance against police using their logo to io9 as their own stance .

It ’s great to see Marvel and Disney take a stance against the use of the Punisher ’s skull logo by law . The next step is to take action and prevent officers from using the logo without license ( whichMarvel Comicsshould never grant ) . Frank Castle is a stone - cold Orcinus orca and not someone cops should attempt to emulate . Hopefully , this is the outset of the Punisher logo being usedonlyin comics , film , and tv - and not law propaganda .
