Eminem Battles Marvel Super Hero, The Punisher
Eminem is poised to release his first new album in four years next Tuesday – so what does the multi-platinum selling rapper do for an encore?
According to NY Daily News, he gets himself in a shootout with the popular super hero, “The Punisher,” in the pages of a new comic book. Eminem reportedly admits that he’s a comic book geek.
“He was way more into ‘Punisher’ than I was,” said the “Eminem/The Punisher” writer Fred Van Lente. “I was brought in because of my knowledge of Eminem not ‘Punisher’.”
The first half of the story is printed in the current issue of XXL Magazine, which features a cover of Eminem sporting ‘The Punisher’s’ skull logo painted on his bare chest. Both chapters are available on the Marvel’s Comics’ Web site (marvel.com/eminem).
