Punisher; Punisher War Zone #2/1995

In "Total Krig!", the Punisher deepens his infiltration of the Carbone family by spending time with Rosalie, while Shotgun digs into the mob’s past and uncovers a betrayal that names Johnny Tower as the Punisher. When the Kingpin learns of this, he alerts Julius Carbone, who orders Tower’s execution—setting off a deadly chain reaction. Trapped and strapped to a car rigged to explode, the Punisher fights to reach his safehouse, hoping the Microchip can save him, but the tech is gone and the clock is running.

In "null," the Punisher faces a fiery end when strapped to a detonating car—only to be saved by Shotgun at the last second. With Julius and Rosalie en route to a secret mob meeting on a remote South American island, Sal Carbone, grappling with amnesia and calling himself Thorn, begins piecing together fragments of a past he can’t remember. As Frank and Shotgun race to rescue Mickey Fondozzi and uncover the location of the Carbone family, Sal’s own fragmented memories pull him toward the same island, drawing all their fates toward the Island of the Sleeping Sharks.

In the shadow of a mob wedding on the Island of the Sleeping Sharks, Julius Carbone prepares to secure his family’s power—until the Punisher, Shotgun, and Mickey Fondozzi crash the ceremony with bullets and blood. As the wedding turns to chaos, Julius’s long-dead brother Sal returns, forcing a brutal reckoning that ends in a swim with the sharks. Rosalie Carbone watches in horror as her father is devoured and her uncle is gunned down—her world unraveling in a single, violent afternoon.
