THE BIRTH OF THE PUNISHER! No team, no family, Frank Castle is a man with nothing left to lose. All he has at his disposal are his skills and the weapon that started it all. A weapon that serves as the perfect bait for the monster that took everything from him. And damn anyone that stands in the way of his revenge. Spider-Man may not know why S.H.I.E.L.D. wants the Cosmic Cube, and he certainly doesn't know what the Hulk wants with it, but he does know that it's too dangerous to be left in the hands of a man on the edge. The fight for the Cosmic Cube reaches its most brutal point yet!
