“We are stunned and saddened by this week’s senseless act in Las Vegas,” Netflix and Marvel said in a joint statement Wednesday.

“After careful consideration, Netflix and Marvel have decided it wouldn’t be appropriate for Marvel’s The Punisher to participate in New York Comic Con,” the companies added of the gun and violence heavy Jon Bernthal-starring series. “Our thoughts continue to be with the victims and those affected by this tragedy.”
