Stories

Living in Darkness Part 5 · 22 pages
The Punisher gears up with super villain gizmos and invades the Hood's stronghold. He is confronted by his old (dead) pal Microchip whom the Hood has resurrected to help the villain take Frank down. When Punisher rejects Micro's proposed deal with the devil, he is attacked by some of the Hood's super villain allies. Frank blows the place up. The Hood resurrects a whole new cast of bad guys.

Publisher’s description

Frank Castle will kill the Hood or die trying. With his city under siege, a high bounty on his head and nothing left to lose, The Punisher dives in for a direct confrontation with New York's new kingpin of crime -- and what he discovers within The Hood’s secret base will shock the Marvel Universe to its core. Who is The Hood’s mysterious new lieutenant? What is The Hood truly capable of? And exactly how far will he go to take down the biggest threat to his brutal underworld reign?
