I don't want to be friends. I just know my limitations. And the fires of Hell will burn this city to the ground if you don't follow me. That enough to get you out of bed, Doc?

Synopsis for 1st story

Frank Castle, disguised with a zip-up hoodie, enters a restaurant with a man named Bonfrisco. The restaurant is owned by the Fusilli crime family, and Castle is there to stop them from gaining power in New York. Upon entering the restaurant, pulls out two guns and begins massacring all of the members inside the restaurant. Bonfrisco, realizing that Frank is the Punisher, hides behind a table and thinks he is going to die as bodies are thrown around the room and on top of him. To his surprise, the Punisher moves to the next room and leaves Bonfrisco alive. The Punisher, meanwhile, moves from room to room, killing everybody in the building. He eventually encounters a restaurant member standing in front of a door, warning the Punisher not to go into it. Castle kills the man but is confused as to why the man did not try to escape through the door - Castle had staked out the restaurant for weeks and was confident there were no dangerous hidden secrets inside. Frank then busts into the room and is surprised by the secret he finds.

In another part of New York, on Coney Island, Doctor Strange is using an axe to battle a demon that exists on another plane of existence. Tourists watch and cheer as Strange fights the monster, thinking that Strange is just a performer because they are not able to see the demon in the other plane. As he fights and destroys the demon, Strange laments the loss of typical magical arts ever since the Mystical Gardens were razed. He is disappointed that he now has to use weapons instead of just magic to fight threats.

Doctor Strange goes home to the Sanctum Sanctorum to rest after fighting the demon. There, his librarian Zelma informs him that there is someone at the door to see him. Doctor Strange goes to the door and finds the Punisher standing out in the rain. The Punisher tells Strange that he needs his help.

Synopsis for "Part Two"

After meeting in the last issue, Doctor Strange and the Punisher prepare to take on the threat Punisher saw and stop hellfire from burning New York City to the ground. Frank Castle (the Punisher) almost leaves when he hears that Doctor Strange no longer has control of magic and that all that is left of magic is in artifacts. However, Doctor Strange convinces Castle that he can still help, and the Punisher is more entertained when he finds out that Doctor Strange now uses an axe.

Meanwhile, at the Fusilli restaurant that the Punisher shot up earlier, the Fusilli siblings Livio and Lucretia are looking over the carnage. Soon, an odd man named Prentice Mangrove shows up, promising to rid the Fusilli's of the problem they are having. The three open the door to the kitchen that the Punisher saw earlier that night to reveal a kitchen full of hideous demons. Lucretia Fusilli reminds Mangrove that they have a deal with him to give the Fusilli's the demons' power before destroying them, which Mangrove responds to by letting her know that he still agrees to the deal and reminds her how experienced he is. Mangrove begins chanting magic words to open a portal in the kitchen as the Fusilli's and their men watch in awe. As this is happening, a guardsman bursts in the door and announces that the Fusilli's have company, then slams the door and runs to stop the new arrivals.

Outside the building, Doctor Strange and the Punisher creep toward the restaurant's front, trying to be stealthy. They are confronted by the armed guard who warned the Fusilli's of their presence, but the Punisher quickly shoots him in the head. As Doctor Strange berates the Punisher for not being stealthy enough, they turn to see the entire restaurant explode and demons standing in the center of it.
