Wilson Fisk is a bodyguard for mob boss Don Rigoletto, but he has his eyes on a much bigger prize, and he's gonna use Frank Castle to help him realize his dreams. It's the biggest story in MAX history, as we witness the birth of the greatest villain the Punisher has ever faced. PunisherMAX #1-5

They say he's the deadliest assassin the world has ever known. Though his methods may seem unorthodox, even insane, they say he's never failed to kill a single target. No one knows where he comes from or why he does it. No one knows his name. They all just call him Bullseye. And now he's come to New York City, with his sights set on Frank Castle.

His final confrontation with Bullseye left Frank Castle wounded and reeling in more ways than one. Now confined to a prison hospital bed, Frank must begin the long painful process of healing - not just his broken body, but also his horribly scarred soul. To do that, he'll have to face the darkest secret of his past - one he'd hoped would stay buried forever. Collecting PUNISHERMAX (2010) #12-16.
