The epic showdown is here: the God of War vs. the Fist of the Beast! As Frank Castle, subsumed by the evil of the Hand, wrestles with devils within and without, the resurrected Maria Castle finds more and more of her memories returning - including the fateful days when her husband first returned from war. Or did he? The all-powerful Ares is coming for Frank with an army of heavily armed Apostles at his back, looking to turn him back into his old self - by murdering his family all over again! But even if the Punisher somehow survives Ares, other forces are gathering to bring him down once and for all. Tainted by demonic evil, can he withstand the onslaught of Daredevil, Doctor Strange and the whole Marvel Universe? Or will Frank Castle be Punisher...no more?
