Stories

Untitled · 22 pages
The Punisher continues to battle the Hood's resurrected villains, even though Mirage makes them appear to be a 1980s Avengers team of Beast, Dr. Druid, Black Knight, Captain Marvel, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, and She-Hulk. Microchip tracks down Henry using Megatak.

Publisher’s description

Frank Castle finds himself the target of a band of Avengers, out of place, out of time and out for The Punisher’s blood. With no idea how Microchip brought them to the here and now, and with G.W. Bridge’s life in the hands of the henchmen of The Hood, Frank must survive the fury of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes long enough to unravel the mystery of their arrival. The truth will leave Frank with a terrible decision; in order to save his friend -- The Avengers must die.
