Part 2 of 2. THE DEATH STANDARD. Appearance of the Punisher. To destroy the largest cocaine stockpile in the United States, the Punisher and the wondrous wall-crawler break into a secret federal installation in upstate New York. The web-slinger can't believe the government has joined the drug trade. But the Punisher doesn't care who's doing what. He's going to obliterate those drugs or die trying. Meanwhile in Colorado, Venom escapes from the Vault again. And in Soho, the Black Cat scares Mary Jane.
