A new guy, Mr Payback, shows up at a corrupt corporate office and starts wasting the higher ups. Another new guy, Elite, goes around killing people for commiting petty crimes. One example was a womans dog was peeing on the sidewalk. The issue concludes with a guy trying to cash in on the bounty by telling the woman from the beginning where Punisher lives.
