CAPTION: “The Bar With No Name” #15

Panel 1:
Front view of two Hydra agents, both with a couple mugs, visibly tipsy. Perspective as if from a bartender, or the wall behind the bar.
HYDRA 1: So, Paulie, man, listen…
HYDRA 2: Dude, Steve, please—I am so, so buzzed. I don’t need that buzz killed.
HYDRA 1: No, no dude—lllisten. You—you are my PAL.
CAPTION(Punisher): Problem is, the scum learned. Now there’s more than one bar. In fact, there’s dozens.
Panel 2:
The two idiots hugging. Still front view from a bartender’s perspective.
HYDRA 1: Yknow that right?
HYDRA 2: I’m so happy I’m GIDDY.
CAPTION(Punisher): Over the past month, I’ve exhausted my “super” arsenal.
Panel 3:
A third Hydra goon walks up to the bar. The two idiots are sitting apart now and 2 is drinking. 1 is yelling to the ceiling.
HYDRA 3: You two are drunk.
HYDRA 1: AND DAMN PROUD OF IT!
CAPTION(Punisher): It’s back to basics.
Panel 4:
The third Hydra goon has a white skull emblem on his chest. He’s shoving a jagged combat knife into Hydra 2’s throat, and a horrifying combination of booze and blood pours out as he drops the mug, his hand shaking and his eyes wide. Hydra goon 1 is looking over, horrified, pointing.
SFX: GSHKT
HYDRA 2: GAGGGKKK
HYDRA 1: HEY, YOU--
CAPTION(Punisher): Except for that Mysterio hologram orb. That I still have.
Panel 5:

SFX: BLAM
Page 3
Panel 1:
Back view of the fully exposed Punisher, the entire rest of the bar is filled with Hydra agents rushing at him. Punisher has twin pistols out. Rounds firing like mad, blood spurting out of the horde of agents. Punisher’s armed as usual, with extra strapped to his body; Uzis on the sides, the sawed off shotgun on his back, pistols on his chest (for future reference).
SFX: BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM
HYDRA AGENTS: CUT OFF A LIMB, AND TWO MORE SHALL TAKE ITS PLACE!!!
PUNISHER: You’re gonna need more limbs.

SFX: BLAM BLAM BLAM
CAPTION(Punisher): Empty the damn bar, leave one behind.
Panel 3:
View of the entire bar. Every single one of that horde is dead, minus one who’s still sitting at a table, with his hands up in an “I surrender” fashion. Punisher is aiming his guns at him.

PUNISHER(OP): You didn’t attack with the horde. You’re not one of them.
Panel 7:
Close up on “Harold” pushing the button with his finger.
SFX: TEK
Page 4
SPLASH PAGE:
Standing in Harold’s place is a man with a black, ninjalike costume, but with western clothes on top: hat, boots, belt, vest; really cliché and embarrassing. He’s got his finger to his ear.
“HAROLD”: Fine, you caught me.
PUNISHER(OP): Name.
“HAROLD”: Fogg, he’s HERE! GET OVER HERE!
CAPTION(Punisher): Talking into a comm link.
Page 5
Panel 1:
Close up of Harold’s hand reaching for the end of a pistol.
“HAROLD”: The name is META-HAX, and frankly--
Panel 2:
Front view of Meta-Hax holding the pistol. This pistol is glowing, as if its something outta “Tron”, with weird digital lines over it, and red, glowing barrel.
META-HAX: -- I CAN’T WAIT TO BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF WITH MY PLASMA PIST--
Panel 3:
Side view of Meta-Hax’s head cracking back as his forehead bursts in blood.

CAPTION(Punisher): Ten dollars and a new kind of pistol, all in all.
CAPTION(Punisher): That’s dinner and a show for tonight.
Page 7
Panel 1:
Outside of the bar’s entrance. It’s in the back of a filthy alley, with a bit of stairs that lead up to it, with a rusted black handrail, a ramp on the other side. Punisher walking out of the door halfway.
CAPTION(Punisher): The underground LMD operation is what led to my big mess last time.
CAPTION(Punisher): An LMD, Life Model Decoy, robotic duplicate of Parker Robbins, The Hood, disturbed me a few weeks ago. Slaughter planted him. So he could distract me. Weaken me.
Panel 2:
Punisher’s looking toward the darker end of the alley, still standing on the elevated spot outside the bar’s back door, which leads to further intersections, all littered and hellish.
CAPTION(Punisher): In the end, he disintegrated the graves of my family. So I cut his arms and legs off, shoved an M-80 in his chest, strapped him with grenades, and kicked him off a balcony.
Panel 3:
Side view. Punisher walking down the alley, his hands in his pockets, just casual and in contemplation.
CAPTION(Punisher): Good fireworks.
Page 8
Panel 1:
Front view of Punisher walking.
CAPTION(Punisher): He told me about the underground operation, creating LMDs for cash. Since the government doesn’t know or care, I’ve taken it upon myself to burn it down.
Panel 2:
Punisher walking into an exit from the alley. His black van is visible, and he’s standing a few feet back from it, slowly approaching. The van is parked so that Punisher doesn’t have to walk around, the driver’s side facing the alley.
CAPTION(Punisher): I have to find Bushwacker. Clown who’s tried to end me twice. He’s the one who has information on the setup, location—even the one running the show. Word is, he hangs at one of the Bars With No Name.
CAPTION(Punisher): So I just have to take them all out. One at a time, until I find him.
Panel 3:
Front view of Punisher starting to open the driver’s side door of the van. Behind him, in the shadows, a set of serpentine eyes glow green. Punisher’s eyes show us that he knows something is behind him, but he’s not surprised, just waiting.
SFX: GGRRRRRRRRRR
CAPTION(Punisher): Might be time to test the new pistol in advance.
Panel 4:
Side view of a set of blood red teeth, reptilian, but no skin showing, the rest shadowed.
FREAK: Frank @#^ing Castle…
Page 9
SPLASH PAGE:
FREAK walking out of the shadows. He’s 7 feet tall. His body has mutated over time into a hideous hybrid of animal DNA. His face has lizard’s teeth and eyes, the eyes are protected by hideous oversized eyelids (as if he’s had some kind of allergic reaction, but really its there so that when he shuts his eyes, his eyes are bulletproof/traumaproof, ETC). His head has no hair anymore, and is in fact brown in color, like reptile scapes, but with bits of FEATHER coming through the top (think the raptors in “Jurassic Park 3”). His shoulders are covered in a Ben Grimm-ish rocklike covering, and his arms are covered in a thin fur, like a chimp; and yet spikes are bulging out, more of the rockfish motif (any rocks are yellow/brown ish, like a crust that forms over a scab). His hands are sharp and reptilian. He has a lizard/snake-like underbelly/chest, and fish scales all over his legs, some that are so sharp they’re like spikes as well. His feet are shaped with a normal heel and a “Y” formation jutting out from the hell, like a bird, covered in leathery lizard skin. His tail is slithering out from the shadows, slender and black, with a jagged, blade-like end that’s blood red and transparent. Punisher is turned to see him, not at all surprised.
FREAK: About time I found you.
PUNISHER: Joy to the world.
CAPTION(Punisher): Would’ve killed this one in a more permanent way, but Spot stole his body. No doubt thawed him.

PUNISHER: You know the bottom pretty well.
Panel 2:
Freak’s face, snarling.
CAPTION(Punisher): The idiot doesn’t want me to shoot him in the head. Forgetting his own power. He’s probably immune. Acting on instinct from years of fear of the gun.
FREAK: Y-yeah…
Panel 3:
Side view of the plasma pistol. It’s glowing more, as if its charging up for a larger shot.
SFX: BREEEE
CAPTION(Punisher): Squeezing the trigger halfway means bigger shots. Good to know.

CAPTION(Punisher): The perfect weapon.
FOGG: Overboss, we got a bit’a trouble.
