This graphic novel opens with Amazing Spider-Man #574: A complete story featuring Flash Thompson. Showing us where he is in the "Brand New Day" Universe and what inspired him to become a solder in the military. Though Not a Spider-Man based story, by no means did it disappoint. I'd suggest Amazing Spider-Man #574 alone as a must buy for any comic book reader.
In "The Death of a Wise Guy" it opens a new chapter in Hammer Heads mythos. Given a second chance at 'life' by Mr. Negative himself. Hammer Head Accepts his Russian heritage becoming something even more dangerous than a pseudo gangster. Sadly after completing "The Death of a Wise Guy" I was a bit disappointed as the dual story arcs had very little evolution... Mr. Negative doesn't use him and the Hammer just recruits a bunch of adolescent street gangs to Mr. Negative.
The final double sized issue teams up both the psychologically anti-hero The Punisher and who other than the Amazing Spider-Man. This story alone is worth reading for the chemistry between Spider-Man and the Punisher-- or lack there of as Spider-Man follows the Punisher on his one man fight against Gamma MGH drug dealer Moses Magnum.

Although this collection is titled "Crime and Punisher," only two of the collected issues actually feature the Punisher. While this may disappoint some fans, the Punisher issues are good enough to justify purchasing the entire book. Zeb Wells's take on the Punisher/Spider-Man relationship strikes the right humorous notes while still portraying the Punisher as the psychotic anti-hero that he is.
This book also includes "Amazing Spider-Man" #574, in which Flash Thompson, Peter Parker's boyhood friend, is wounded in the Iraq War. It was authored with the assistance of an injured veteran, and compares and contrasts Spider-Man's heroics with Thompson's war heroics.
The Hammerhead issues that round out "Crime and Punisher" are decent, but the script--by Joe Kelly--and artwork--by Chris Bachalo--are too busy for their own good.
