Frank Castle's war on crime is bloodier than ever in a volume jam-packed with death, depravity and revenge! The Punisher has guns, will travel. His campaign will take him south of the border and to the edge of the bayou, where a service station stop leads to a world of unspeakable horror. He'll have six hours to kill until a deadly serum turns him into a 220-pound corpse. And he'll face a lethal reunion with General Nikolai Alexandrovich Zakharov. When last they met, they played chicken with a dozen nuclear warheads over Moscow - and Zakharov's not the type to forgive and forget. Then Frank faces the fury of five women scorned. He killed their husbands, and now they're out for payback. It's the Punisher, taken to the MAX! COLLECTING: PUNISHER (2004) 31-49

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.
