On a houseboat in the Florida Everglades, G.W. Bridge goes head-to-head with Tony Stark to negotiate the terms of his return to S.H.I.E.L.D.... or is it his surrender?

#13 - Written by MATT FRACTION Pencils by CORY WALKER Cover by ARIEL OLIVETTI 'HUNTER/HUNTED,' Part 1 of 3 The reintroduction of a classic, brutal, and bloodthirsty Kraven the Hunter. A bank robbery goes violently wrong, leaving the Rhino on the lam, running from the long arm of the law and, of course, the Punisher. As Frank Castle looks to settle the score with an old foe, the Hunter stalks the same prey, building himself the ultimate menagerie -- a living, breathing super-human zoo! Add Spider-Man into this mix as the lone voice of sanity and super-special guest artist Cory Walker (THE IRREDEEMABLE ANT-MAN, Invincible) and you've got chocolate and peanut butter with bullets dipped in it. Delicious! Violent! Explodey! 

#14 - Written by MATT FRACTION Art by CORY WALKER Cover by ARIEL OLIVETTI Kraven's back, and Frank Castle's on the hunt in this, the second part of HUNTER/HUNTED. The son of Kraven has gone mad and begun collecting a menagerie of varied and villainous animal characters. The latest baddie he's hunted down? The RHINO, who he swooped in and kidnapped before The Punisher could frag him. Bad idea. So: Kraven hunts the underbelly of the Marvel Universe to build his posthuman zoo. Punisher hunts Kraven. G.W. Bridge hunts the next member of his team. And what about Rhino? How does HE feel about all this? Not good. Not good at all. Surely it's a bad day for somebody. Hooray! 

#15 - Written by MATT FRACTION Penciled by Scott Wegener Cover by ARIEL OLIVETTI 'HUNTER/HUNTED' comes to its jaw-breaking conclusion as the Punisher faces off against the all-new Kraven the Hunter. As the Hunter's menagerie ship bursts and burns in the New York Harbor, Frank has to fight his way tooth and nail to daylight as Kraven kills his way towards Frank... and in-between the two of them stands the Hunter's menagerie run rampant, out for blood, out of their minds, and looking to even the score. And who is the last piece of G.W. Bridge's puzzle? All hell breaks loose in the issue that re-defines 'savagery.'

#16 - Written by MATT FRACTION Penciled by HOWARD CHAYKIN Cover by ALEX MALEEV The Punisher isn't known for taking prisoners-so what's life like for those rare few that DO survive their run-ins with Frank Castle? When we last saw The Gibbon, he'd been poisoned and blown up by the Punisher and left to roast alive in a bar full of his D-List cohorts. And today? He lives in hiding with a fellow survivor, plotting his revenge against the man that took his life away, every tick of the clock bringing him closer to an inevitable explosion of violence. Fandom has spoken, and it has said 'Gibbon.' We listened. You're welcome. By Matt Fraction (THE IMMORTAL IRON FIST, THE ORDER, Casanova) and the legendary Howard Chaykin (WOLVERINE, Howard Chaykin's American Flagg!)!

#17 - Written by MATT FRACTION Art by HOWARD CHAYKIN Cover by ALEX MALEEV MISFITS PART 2 (of 2) Stuart Clarke has found himself in the unlikely and unenviable position of becoming The Punisher's weapons-master, sidekick, and partner. He was once known as Rampage-when he combated the classic Los Angeles superteam The Champions. He was once a weapons designer for Sunset Bain-when he designed the War Machine armor. And he ended up a prisoner on The Raft-one that escaped during The Breakout. The two constants in his completely insane life have been his absolute brilliance, and his utter hatred of Tony Stark. And now, in his way, he too is a victim of Frank Castle...Take a look inside the life and times of this very special madman, courtesy of Matt Fraction (THE IMMORTAL IRON FIST, THE ORDER, CASANOVA) and Howard Chaykin (Wolverine, Howard Chakin's American Flagg!) 32 PGS./Rated T+

In this prelude to the next major story-arc in PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL, we get to spend a little time with the man, the myth, and the monster that's earned the right to call himself the Punisher's arch-nemesis. What is it about Frank Castle that makes this otherwise sane, if a little sinister, gangster go absolutely and completely insane whenever he's around? What buttons can Frank possibly push that pushes Jigsaw over the edge of sanity? Find out straight from the horse's mouth, kiddies: JIGSAW starts here, ends in blood, and features a whole lot of violence in-between.

COMIC GRADE DETAILS:

NM – “Near Mint” (Note: There is a distinction between "Mint" and "Near Mint") - A nearly perfect copy. Only a few very minor defects. Acceptable defects on a Near Mint copy may include: minor color breaks from the printing process, a very small amount of spine stresses, very minor instances of denting (two or three at most), slight corner blunting, and minor (less than 1/8") bends without color breaks.

Sometimes it’s possible for a brand new comic shipped from the publisher, distributor or purchased new from a store, to already be in less than near mint condition due to the way the comic was produced, shipped, stored, or handled prior to purchase.

VF/NM – “Very Fine/Near Mint” Are nearly perfect copies that may fall short of Near Mint but are still, condition wise, above Very Fine. VF/NM are comics with minor imperfections that fall between the VF and NM grades. Imperfections may include any of the following: a very small amount of spine stresses, very minor instances of denting (two or three at most), slight corner blunting, and minor (less than 1/8") bends without color breaks. Minor corner wear, a light accumulation of spine stress that may include color-break, a light accumulation of dents, and bends or folds less than 1/4" or minor color breaks from the printing process.

VF - A “Very Fine” copy has minor defects, but overall is in excellent condition. Acceptable defects on a VF are typically minor and may include: minor corner wear, a light accumulation of spine stress that may include color-break, a light accumulation of dents, and bends or folds less than 1/4" (note that on a VF copy, some color-break is allowed in a bend/fold).

If you have specific questions about the EXACT condition of the comic you are purchasing, please contact us prior to purchase.

FN - "Fine" Typically considered "above average" but still shows some wear due to either an accumulation of minor defects or one or two moderate defects. Acceptable defects on a FN copy typically include: Minor spine roll, a moderate amount of spine stresses that may break color, a spine split of less than 1/2", minor water spotting/residue (smaller than a dime), an impacted corner, moderate foxing.

VG - "Very Good" Usually shows some significant wear, but generally does not have enough total defects to make it undesirable. Accumulation of minor defects or one or two major ones. VG comics may include: Spine roll, 1/2" to 1" spine splits or other tears, a cover/centerfold that is loose at one staple, discoloration (from oxidation), and/or a moderate accumulation of water damage or staining.
