STARRING SPIDER-MAN, DAREDEVIL & THE PUNISHER cover by bill sienkiewicz brian michael bendis/bill sienkiewicz
Whoa! Three cool characters in one book!
One by one, the evil men that slaughtered Frank Castle's family are being knocked off. Only one guilty guy remains ? and lawyer Matt Murdock has sworn to make him pay through the courts! But it'll take more than police protection to save him from the Punisher ? it'll take the combined power of two of the city's most mysterious masked vigilantes: Daredevil, the Man Without Fear, and the wall-crawling Spider-Man! It's a rumble in the (urban) jungle as three of Marvel's most popular characters collide!

That's right, our young wall-crawling Spider-Man!
