The Punisher Collides with Mavel’s Most Dangerous Heroes
The streets of the Marvel Universe explode this October as the Punisher comes face-to-face with some of Marvel’s most dangerous heroes! Beginning with Punisher Showdowns: Black Widow #1, writer Tom Waltz and artist Greg Land are showcasing previously untold conflicts between Frank Castle and other members of the Marvel Universe in a series of oversized one-shots. It all begins as Punisher and Natasha Romanoff, aka the Black Widow, collide during a mission to stop a terrorist attack in Las Vegas. If Frank can make it through that encounter in one piece (that’s no guarantee!), he’ll have to contend with both Wolverine and the Winter Soldier in the follow-up one-shots releasing in November and December.
