You'd think getting killed by the Punisher would be easy. You'd be wrong. Minus an eye, half his teeth and a handful of fi ngers, shot through the chest and thrown to the sharks, the man-mountain known as Barracuda is looking for a little payback. But before he can face Frank Castle, he's going to need the money to do the job just right. His fundraising expedition takes him south of the border, where old friends and enemies have gathered in the Central American republic of Santa Morricone. Revolution is in the air. Trouble is brewing. Barracuda is just the man to stir the pot. He's up against an army - but he's got a killer sense of humor, a hemophiliac and the world's most lethal transvestite on his side. And when all's said and done...he's Barracuda. Collecting PUNISHER PRESENTS: BARRACUDA MAX (2007) #1-5.
