Garth Ennis returns to the world of the Punisher! A dozen Russian mobsters lie dead at Frank Castle's feet...but he wasn't the one who pulled the trigger. You'd think that the Punisher would celebrate - but if you know Frank, you'll know that this unexpected turn of events just stirs up more questions. Who is Valery Stepanovich? Why did he mow down a room full of mobsters? These are questions Frank is going to answer - and then decide if Valery deserves his own punishment. But what will happen when these two criminal hunters come face-to-face? Seeds planted decades ago in Moscow and Afghanistan are about to bloom bloody in New York City in an all-new tale by the writer who gets Frank Castle like no other!
