But complications arise- Daredevil makes an untimely appearance!Across New York men with mob connections are mysteriously dying after receiving letters in the mail. Frank Castle meanwhile is sitting in the park marking the anniversary of his families murder when he catches and confronts a young man spying on him in the bushes. The man, Jason Hunt, is revealed to be the son of the man who was murdered alongside Castle s family. He explains to Castle what his father told him about his own mob connections on his death bed blaming one Hector Montoya as the ringleader of the killing. Hector Montoya is currently in prison but is about to be released early due to good behaviour. Jason angered by Hector s release vows revenge for his father s death despite Castle s attempts to convince him otherwise.Deciding to tail Jason on the day of Hector s release, Castle fights three thugs who were readying to attack Jason who as he said intends to follow and shoot the just released Hector Montoya. Hector who notices Jason s tail equips himself having returned home to his family and sets off after Jason who has decided against attacking Hector. Confronting Jason the two are at a standoff when The Punisher intervenes but Hector managing to drug Castle leaves him for the dead as grabs Jason s wallet (to learn his home address) which he dropped as he scrambled to escape as Hector and Castle fought. The issues closes with Castle loosing consciousness as the three thugs he attacked earlier encircle around the now incapacitated Castle.An African poaching ring has been killing dinosaurs, but their operation ends here…at the end of Wolverine’s claws and Punisher’s firearms! That is, if Wolverine and Punisher don’t kill each other first.Castle wakes up underwater, almost out of breath but also being attacked by a crocodile. Castle uses the crocodile to break the surface of the water, but he can t escape the water without killing the crocodile, the second creature he has had to kill in self-defense. When he gets to shore, Castle assumes Wolverine is the poacher who has been killing gorillas and killed the boy he befriended in the previous issue. Both Punisher and Wolverine resume their hunt for each other in the jungle. Meanwhile, the deli owner continues his own hunt for the source of his visions about big game animals in Texas. He approaches the compound of oil magnate Otis Roberts, the mysterious man with the collection of rare animal heads, upon whom he spies doing some telecommuting business. When he departs, the deli owner enters and does some computer business of his own.The dinosaur-hunting expedition continues without Castle. In another village, the villainous wife and corporal kidnap a girl who can lead them to the dinosaurs. The girl is released when they find the dinosaurs, and she returns to the village, informing on the covert pair of poachers. Wolverine and Punisher also stumble onto the dinosaur spot, though they only have eyes for each other at first. After another intense battle, they both realize they have been mistaken when the real poachers start to fire on them. The expedition arrives just as the dinosaurs start to escape the madness, but the greedy poacher wife won t allow it. The poacher corporal is wounded by a loyal Congo soldier. Punisher shoots the wife in the back, who dies after she tells her husband she only used him to get money for dinosaurs heads, paid by the Texas oil magnate Otis Roberts. Wolverine lets the jungle finish off the corporal and disappears. The Punisher, though, isn t as merciful, and ties up the corporal using the cheetah skin that first got Wolverine involved in this business.Ten days later, back home, the Punisher discovers he doesn t have to go after the Texas oil magnate, since the secretive deli owner already did. Since he doesn t know him personally, this only puts Castle on edge, wondering who knows about his identity and location. Months later, a dinosaur tramples over the bleached-white bones of the poacher corporal in the Congo.
