The article highlights a series of impressive fan-made comic book covers by artist Will Robson. The artwork imagines a "what if" scenario where Jon Bernthal's gritty, violent version of The Punisher from the Netflix series appears in the world of Spider-Man's "Brand New Day" comic era.

"Brand New Day" was a controversial 2008 storyline that rebooted Spider-Man's status quo, erased his marriage to Mary Jane, and was known for a much lighter, more quippy tone. Robson's art creates a sharp, humorous contrast by dropping the hyper-violent Punisher into this upbeat setting.

The mock-up covers perfectly mimic the artistic style of the "Brand New Day" era but replace the original moments with scenes of The Punisher's brutal methods, often to the shock of a classic, wise-cracking Spider-Man. The project is celebrated as a clever commentary on a divisive period in Spider-Man's history and a fun exploration of a dramatic tonal clash.
