Stories

  • Sacrifice Play · 22 pages

    The Punisher recovers from last issue's injuries and gains a husband and wife team (both prison guards) as allies in the process. The trio try to keep Lydia Spotto and the Samson Family members from rescuing their crazed cult leader during a prison transport. As the firefight winds down and the Punisher takes care of Charlie, Ortiz finds himself stuck between a gunman and approaching police and makes a suicide play.
