Stories

Living in Darkness Part 3 · 22 pages
The Hood discovers a little about the Punisher's operations and the fact that he has a tech man helping him out thanks in part to the fact that he has a familiar tech man of his own. The Punisher busts up an organ harvesting operation run by the Hand but a SWAT team moves in on him quickly. As Henry directs Frank into the sewers to escape, he discovers that the SWAT team is actually made up of the Hood's goons.

Publisher’s description

“LIVING IN DARKNESS,” PART 3—The only thing standing between the new king of crime and his dark reign of New York is a lone soldier doing what none of the capes will: taking out the bad guys permanently. Frank Castle has torn open an artery of the most feared crime family in the history of New York, and it will not go unanswered. A lesson must be taught — a bloody, public lesson. How can the Punisher possibly contend? With an arsenal of the most powerful weapons in the Marvel Universe — and a smile.
