Written by JASON AARON Penciled by STEVE DILLON Cover by STEVE DILLON The Punisher's one-man war on crime has been going well lately. A little too well. The mob bosses that make up the heads of the major crime families have banded together to finish off the Punisher for good.

With their trap set, the bosses have only to wait for the Punisher to take the bait. But the bosses aren't the only people with a plan. It seems that Wilson Fisk is tired of playing the heavy.
