Stories

  • Confession · 22 pages

    About to kill Punisher, Bushwacker desists and leaves, wanting him to confess first. A severely battered Punisher is tended to by Microchip and then goes after Bushwacker at his house. Once again Frank is almost killed but the fight is stopped when Bushwacker's wife leaves, telling him she can't stand the violence. A final struggle between the two sends Bushwacker over the edge of a bridge, possibly to his death. Dr. Doom berates Kingpin for his failure to have Punisher killed.
