After the great feedback all over the web about the casting of Jon Bernthal as the next Punisher, i remembered to do an article that could help all the fans of the show, know a little bit more about their relationship.
To me the upcoming books are essential to know about this two characters, what are their motivations and what separate them, specially about how they deal with crime.
CHILD'S PLAY
 |
| Daredevil #182-#184 |
This books marks the first time these two characters met each other. By the writer Frank Miller and the artist Klaus Janson this classic story marks one of the best written between these two character.
And it could fit perfectly in the upcoming season 2 of Daredevil.
Both characters are tracking down who is poisoning the kids with a new drug called "Angel Dust", Frank Miller not only explores the motivations of these two characters as he show us how different they are when it comes to fighting crime.

THE CREEP/ THE BULLY
 |
| Punisher #10 / Daredevil #257 |
Another great story written by Mike Baron ( Punisher) and Ann Nocenti ( Daredevil).
These books explores the two points of view of both characters in their book. Again both Baron and Nocenti explored flawlessly the differences between these characters and their morals when they are fighting crime.
The story is about an ex-employee of a pharmaceutical laboratory that is killing people with an aspiryn produced by his last firm. His nickname was "Aspirin Killer".
Another great arc that could fit the Daredevil tv series and it's a must have for fans of both characters.
The funny thing is that this story was covered decades after by Greg Rucka in his Punisher run.

DAREDEVIL VS PUNISHER: MEANS AND ENDS
 |
| Daredevil vs Punisher: Means and Ends #1-#6 (2005) |
Another great example of the stories that could be imported to Daredevil netflix series, this one is one of my favorites almost at the same level as the Frank Miller story. This one was written, drawed and colored by David Lapham.
Means and Ends is so good because of the great plot and how it mixes other characters from Marvel Universe into this storyline like the Hammerhead, The Jackal and Bushwacker.
Hammerhead and Jackal took over the New York criminal empire while Kingpin is in jail. While Daredevil is trying to gather evidences to put these characters in jail, on the otherside is the Punisher trying to destroy them and put them down for good.
Another great arc the show us the contrast between these two characters and an epic fight at the end of this issue that is nothing less than LEGENDARY.

MARVEL KNIGHTS
 |
| Marvel Knights 1-15 (2000) |
Now for change a little bit this is a good example how they can work together when it's needed... If Frank can "work" in a team, this one makes sense.
The Punisher was always the wildcard but it worked and Chuck Dixon make everything work like a swiss watch.

Great stories written by Chuck Dixon that gave us a gritty and realistic tone within the Marvel Universe.
I would like to see a tv series based in Marvel Knights.
HONORABLE MENTIONS
 |
| Omega Effect 3 part event: Avenging Spider-Man #6 / Punisher #10 and Daredevil #11 |
This arc was really good, it was a three part event that both characters wanted to defend the Omega Drive from terrorist organizations in Marvel Universe.
The Punisher wanted to keep it, because this device has vital information from the top criminal empire operating in marvel universe like HYDRA and A.I.M. The Punisher with this kind of intel would put these organizations down for good.

SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN TEAM UP #09-10
Another great story that we see both Daredevil and Punisher working very well in a common objective. This storyline isn't the Spider-Man we all know, it's Doctor Octopus that possessed his mind and has control of his body.
Superior Spider-Man was betrayed in his own "organization" and the Punisher is looking for his custom glyder. Very entertaining story by David Yost and the wonderful artwork by Marco Checchetto.
