I went ahead and put #28 in here also. It's another one I just picked up this week. I like this story the Mike Benson has put together here. I wasn't sure about Jefte Palo's art last issue, but after reading these 2 I really think he has just the right feel for this story. Marc Spector is dead. Or, at least, that's what the rest of the world thinks. However, we know that he's actually gone down to Mexico and resumed his Jake Lockley identity. He's been doing some cage fighting and he's come to the attention of a Mr Alcantara. He says his daughter has been illegally incarcerated and he want to pay Jake to get her out. Which he does, but in doing so . . he finds out that the daughter, Carmen, was actually turning state's evidence on her father's illegal dealings. So she disappeared about a month ago. Her father is getting ready to broker a deal with the Russians, so he wants her back
to tie up the loose end. Also, he wants to shoot her in front of them to show them what kind of man he is. So, once Jake kills Alcantara's men that were helping him . . but then wanted to shoot him in the head . . Alcantara hires the Zapato brothers to bring Carmen and Jake both in. By the way the Punisher is also in town and he's seen Jake's/Marc's face. "Guess who isn't dead." Anyways, in issue #28 Jake goes back and forth with the Zapato's a couple of time. There's also someone out there with an Aztec theme that's taking down the 'family' members also, Toltec. But he's doing it by butchering them with huge knives. Jake's managed to stay out of his way, but Toltec takes out a couple more members when they see Jake and try to give chase. Anyways, the issue ends with the Zapato's striking a deal with Alcantara. They're going to take care of all of his problems, for a price of course. But they really just plan on killing him when they're all done. But as they go out on the streets to start searching for their prey, unsuspectingly they are also being followed. If they saw their followers they might not be so openly gallivanting around town. We see the Punisher, Moon Knight and Toltec all hiding in the shadows following their only leads to Alcantara. All in all I thought it was a pretty decent story-line. It's nice to see Jake back in the mix of things again.
