With the Punisher on a government hit list, has Frank walked into the lion's den? Or can he find the man pulling the strings - before Captain America stops him?

The Marvel Knights era of Punisher comes to an explosive close!

First, guns meet blades as Frank faces perhaps the only person more deadly than he is: Elektra! Next, the Punisher heads to the Lone Star State for a high-noon showdown on the streets of Laredo! Then, when Daredevil, Spider-Man and Wolverine join forces to finally bring Frank's killing spree to an end, can he make three of Marvel's greatest heroes look like a confederacy of dunces? And how does the Hulk figure in to it all?

Finally, Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's sequel to their classic "Welcome Back, Frank" sees the resurrection of Ma Gnucci turn the Punisher's world into a war zone - which is just the way he likes it!
