(W) Jonathan Hickman (A) Adam Kubert

A DARK HOMECOMING AWAITS...It's a world before the Punisher. A world where the existence of the Hulk is but a whisper of a rumor. A world where A.I.M. has just developed a Cosmic Cube in the jungles of South America. Frank Castle, Bruce Banner and Peter Parker are all on a mission to keep the Cube out of the wrong hands — including each other's. In this three-way free-for-all for the power of the cosmos, who will come out on top?
