This all new story written by Fred Van Lente ("Amazing Spider-Man") with art by Salvador Larroca ("Invincible Iron Man") takes place in Detroit after Eminem performs on stage and is involved in a conflict with The Punisher and his old foe, Barracuda. The first half of the story will be featured as a bonus eight page special edition comic printed in the June issue of "XXL" magazine. The free eight page conclusion will be available exclusively on Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited (www.marvel.com/eminem) starting May 5th.
“When we learned that Eminem is a fan and collector of Marvel comics, we could only imagine what would happen if The Punisher and Slim Shady met up in the Marvel Universe,” said Marvel’s Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada. “This was a unique partnership and the team had a blast working with Eminem and incorporating the rapper into the Marvel fold.”
For fans of the Punisher, Eminem, and those wanting to own a part of the action, visit your local newsstand to purchase the magazine on May 5, 2009. Then be sure to visit www.marvel.com/eminem to see the conclusion of the story.
To be honest, I have not read the story. Frankly, I never will because I'm not much of an Eminem fan myself. If you are, more power to ya.
Thanks for reading.
