“The Arranger Must Die!” Gang War: Part 2 of 5
The gang war takes a turn for the worse for the bad guys as the Punisher enters the fray! Frank Castle doesn’t care where the Kingpin is or isn’t. Or which crimes bosses have formed alliances with one another. He’s planning to nail them all! When the Arranger calls a Midnight meeting of the crime lords, the Punisher adds himself to the guest list! But instead of a battle breaking out among the Hobgoblin, Jack O’Lantern, Rose, and Hammerhead; the furious fight erupts between Spider-Man and the Punisher! Is that any way to stop a gang war? Cameo appearances by Vanessa Fisk, Richard Fisk, Ned Leeds, Joe Robertson, and Ben Urich. (Notes: The initial subplot of the Spider-Man vs. Wolverine (1987) one-shot occurs in this story.
