And all that stands in his way are two mysterious brothers who hold the key to halting an eruption that could tear the world's most famous city apart! When the bullets fly, what--if anything--can Spider-Man and Daredevil do to stop the violence? And will the Punisher attempt to cool tempers...or stoke the fires of war? Written by Howard Mackie.
