S.H.I.E.L.D., and against anyone that ever stood in his way. And what about Frank Castle? Where does THE PUNISHER fit into Clarke's plans? It's the end of the world as we know it— time to cross some names off the old enemies list. Then, take a trip to the Helter Skelter Club — psychedelic hangout of every costumed wannabe, z-list villain and spandex tryhard in NYC. Its retro-tastic owner — Captain Pepper — has been up to his paisley-print elbows in bad business, but now he's caught the attention of one decidedly ungroovy vigilante.
