Welcome Back, Frank

New York Police Department

Wanna talk bad luck? Consider the sad case of Detective Martin Soap, a loser whose next assignment is to capture the Punisher! And his partner is even a bigger waste than he is! If that's not enough to pack it up and join a monastery, Detective Soap also has to deal with the ongoing war between Frank Castle and mob boss Ma Gnucci! Meanwhile, the Punisher chows down on a meal of C-4 charges, an out-of-control limo, a priest with an axe to grind and a human projectile... eat up, Frankie!
