When U.S. Marine veteran Frank Castle's family's was murdered for witnessing a mob hit, the man vowed to avenge their deaths and became a one-man army in his personal war against the criminal underworld. With a distinct death's head skull adorning his chest, Frank Castle became the vigilante known as the Punisher.
The previous Punisher: Max title ended at issue #75. This is a reboot of Punisher under the MAX imprint. This is the only active Punisher title under MAX imprint.
The first issue (#1) starts off with the mobsters planning on taking out Punisher and they introduce Wilson Fisk (bodyguard to one of the bosses) as the Kingpin in order to divert Punisher's attention off of their stuff and to the made-up Kingpin. So issue #1, is basically the origin of the Kingpin starting with the crime bosses turning the Kingpin myth into a story to trick Punisher. Bullseye is suppose to be coming in issue 2 or soon thereafter.
I believe they will be the MAX versions of the villains, so they may not fit into the continuity of the 616 Marvel universe. (just like how this Frank Castle isn't the same as the 616 Frank that is now a zombie Frankencastle thing)
