Men who'd put anything between themselves and the Punisher's bullet. Men who know exactly who he is - and how to fight him. Collecting PUNISHER #50-60. 280 pages. Explicit Content.

Written by JASON AARON Penciled by STEVE DILLON Cover by STEVE DILLON The Punisher's one-man war on crime has been going well lately. A little too well. The mob bosses that make up the heads of the major crime families have banded together to finish off the Punisher for good. They've set a trap for Frank, using a low-level mob enforcer named Wilson Fisk to play the part of the ""Kingpin of Crime,"" an imaginary figure they know Frank won't be able to resist. With their trap set, the bosses have only to wait for the Punisher to take the bait. But the bosses aren't the only people with a plan. It seems that Wilson Fisk is tired of playing the heavy. He quite likes the idea of being the Kingpin, enough that he'd be willing to kill his own bosses to keep the position. Collecting PUNISHERMAX #1-5. 120 pages. /Explicit Content.

So when Castle put the former super villain in his sites, it wasn't received quite as well. Since that failed assassination attempt, Osborn has tried to turn the tables on the Punisher.

With traditional means of bringing in his foe exhausted, Osborn turns to the Hood and his wide-reaching criminal network.

"A WARM PLACE TO &"" The Punisher's wildest foe is back -- give or take a few boy parts- embarking on a solo mission that has him playing bodyguard to the son of a dangerous mob boss. Only one problem: Junior's a hemophiliac -- just one little scratch, and he's a goner. If Barracuda wants to collect his paycheck (not to mention keep his dome attached to his shoulders), he's gonna have to dig deep into his bag of dirty tricks. And when it's empty, find a bigger bag. [Written by Garth Ennis Pencils And Cover by Goran Parlov]
CONCLUSION! They threw everything and the kitchen sink at Barracuda, but it didn't spoil his day. What's more, the guy he was paid to protect just became his sidekick. Get ready to meet the baddest hemophiliac on the planet. His name is Oswald -- but you can call him "Hemo" -- and you'd best get out of his way.

Written by RICK REMENDER Penciled by JEROME OPEÑA Cover by MIKE MCKONE It's a fight against the ""Dark Reign"" as the duty of chronicling Frank Castle's war journal is passed to the new team of writer Rick Remender (End League, Fear Agent) and Jerome Opeña (WOLVERINE, Fear Agent). One man with one bullet, in the right place, at the right time, can change the world. That's why the Punisher is perched atop a building on the Jersey shore with a high-powered Skrull rifle, his crosshairs trained on a target in Midtown Manhattan. But who is his target -- and why? One thing's for sure: They're anything but helpless. Someone is watching their back. Someone big. Enter: The Sentry! Collecting PUNISHER #1-5 120 pages. /Parental Advisory
Written by RICK REMENDER Penciled by JEROME OPENA Cover by MIKE MCKONE After firing the winning shot in the battle to repel a massive alien invasion, the former Green Goblin, Norman Osborn, was able to position himself as the planet's savior, parlaying his newfound popularity into a job heading up the new peacekeeping organization H.A.M.M.E.R. But while some super heroes might be willing to fall in line behind Osborn, the Punisher just ain't one of them. Joining forces with a tech-savvy young partner, Castle sets about taking Osborn down. The Punisher normally favors the bluntest of methods - a bullet to the brain - but with his target's influence so far-reaching and his corruption so deep-seated, Frank and his new associate must first gather evidence of the former Green Goblin's wrongdoing. And if you expect there to be some gunfire and ultraviolence along the way, well...you won't be disappointed! Collecting PUNISHER #1-5. 136 pages. /Parental Advisory
