Wait. Look at them. Look at what they're doing. These aren't monsters. They're people from another realm. Families... just wearing a different skin. That -- that magician. He pulled them into our crossfire. Not a thing I take kindly to.

Synopsis for "Part Three"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Doctor Strange / Punisher: Magic Bullets Infinite Comic #3
Beginning where the previous issue left off, Doctor Strange and Frank Castle (the Punisher) launch into battle against the demons standing in the ruins of the old restaurant. The demons are all transformed humans powered with high levels of demonic energy, and the two strongest are the mafia siblings Livio and Lucretia Fusilli who have the abilities to shoot fire out of their hands and eyes, respectively. Castle and Strange battle their way through the monsters trying to get to the restaurant's kitchen where the portal is. As they battle, the Punisher doubts Strange's ability now that he does not have his magic. Castle's guns have no effect on the demons, so Strange throws him a wand and instructs him to point it at enemies and imagine them in a prison. Frank attempts this but nothing happens, so he breaks the wand in half and starts stabbing demons with the pieces.

After fighting off a snake demon, Doctor Strange falls down a hole that lands him in the kitchen he is trying to reach. There he sees Prentice Mangrove controlling the portal and summoning demons from it, as well as sucking the power from already-existing demons to power up mafia members. Mangrove welcomes Doctor Strange, although Strange admits he does not know who Mangrove is. Frank Castle catches up to Strange and is about to attack Mangrove and the demons surrounding him when he realizes that the demons in the room Mangrove is drawing power from are just non-violent creatures families, even though they aren't human. This reminds him of his own origin story and enrages him, but before he is able to do anything the Fusilli siblings appear again and begin blasting the two heroes with fire. Doctor Strange struggles to fend off the fire with his shield and at the same time pulls out an amulet that he commands the Punisher to look at. Everything goes white and they disappear, which causes the Fusilli siblings to think they've killed the duo. Mangrove warns them that the heroes are not dead but have escaped and will now be looking to gather an army to rival the army of demons Mangrove is trying to summon with the portal to fight the Steelgrave family for the Fusilli's.

The Fusilli siblings, still not knowing who Doctor Strange is, question why Mangrove is making such a big deal about the sorcerer. Mangrove explains Doctor Strange's identity and tells them of all the feats he has done. Doctor Strange and the Punisher, who it turns out escaped to hide around the corner of a wall, listen in to Mangrove's ranting as they decide what to do next.

Synopsis for "Part Four"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Doctor Strange / Punisher: Magic Bullets Infinite Comic #4
The tale begins with Livio and Lucretia Fusilli debriefing with Prentice Mangrove in the ruins of their exploded restaurant after their battle there last issue. Lucretia tries to use her willpower to turn herself back into a human form instead of demon, but is unsuccessful. This upsets her and she fears that they will be stuck as demons forever. Her brother Livio does not seem phased by this idea but instead enjoys the powers that he has in his demonic form. In a revelry of his powers, Livio blasts fire from his hands and accidentally kills their last demon henchman who was standing behind him. This causes Lucretia to become even more agitated because they no longer have an army to back them up in their conquest of New York. In an attempt to excite his sister, Livio claims that they can still take on the Steelgrave mafia family that controls the Lower East Side of New York on their own. Lucretia is eventually convinced of the idea and uses her wings to fly herself, Livio, and Mangrove to the Lower East Side.

The Punisher (Frank Castle) and Doctor Strange, meanwhile, are standing on a street bickering about the previous battle with the demons. During this fight, they observe the Fusilli's fly over them and Frank suddenly notices a car parked on the street that was also in front of Doctor Strange's home earlier. They confront the car and inside find Bonfrisco, the street urchin who had gone into the restaurant with Castle earlier in the evening. Bonfrisco admits to tailing Castle after he shot up the place but offers to drive them to a location Doctor Strange says they need to go. The heroes accept and get into Bonfrisco's car, who starts driving to the Brooklyn Bridge. During the ride Bonfrisco comments that it seemed weird to him that Strange and Castle were running around the ruins of the restaurant yelling and swinging at nothing. Doctor Strange informs the Punisher that only people who come into direct contact with the demons can see them, so to bystanders like Bonfrisco all of the demons are invisible.

At a disguised base in the Lower East Side, Mr. Steelgrave and his gang members are gearing up to go loot the ruins of the Fusilli's restaurant. As Mr. Steelgrave opens the door to leave the room, he is confronted by Livio Fusilli, who grabs Steelgrave's face and burns it with his demon-powered flames. Lucretia then flies out from the other side of the room and the two siblings proceed to incinerate all of the Steelgrave gang members.

Doctor Strange and the Punisher arrive at Brooklyn Bridge, where they climb over the railing to stand on the edge. While Bonfrisco is climbing over Strange notices and destroys some remnants of the demon he defeated on Coney Island earlier. The fact that pieces of the demon are congregating near the section of the Brooklyn Bridge that he is on confirms to Strange that they are in the correct place, and he begins to walk upside down on the bottom of the bridge. The Punisher and Bonfrisco follow him to find the large golden airplane belonging to the Phantom Eagle hanging on the under side of the bridge.
