Frank Castle is caught right in the middle of executing a high-profile target when V.I.G.I.L. (a heavily armed, anti-vigilante government task force led by Captain Mike Nails) corners him. Rather than slaughtering legitimate law enforcement figures, a reluctant Punisher is prepared to surrender. However, the unstable armored villain Recoil crashes the showdown, turning the arrest into an absolute three-way war zone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStory 2: \"Bar Wars\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreators: Written by Roger Salick; art by Val Mayerik.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Plot: Frank receives a tip-off from one of his usual criminal informants to meet up at a local dive bar.
