Rock Stars and Comic Books: Eminem
We've seen KISS! But I've got a couple more. Splitting up my post to ease the pain for dial-uppers. This comic debuted in XXL magazine, however its available online here. (Click the 'Read Here' in the ad.)(cover and 1 page from 15 pager.)

::cough:: There may be some bias.

I will say, I enjoyed it as the crack it is.

	Wow, the guy who got into a rapper beef with Moby and Triumph the insult comic dog beat up the Punisher. Who knew he had it in him. Seriously though; what a bunch of self indulgent crap. Maybe its because I'm an ICP fan, but I cannot be intimidated by that man. As a matter of fact, why not have ICP fight the Punisher. That I would like to see. (Reply to this)

	Frank would not hold his guns like that. He kills people who hold their guns like that. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I once went through a bit of trouble to find the issue where Frank kills someone who holds their guns like that. I can't remember the exact issue now, but I do remember Frank telling a soon-to-be-dead punk: "They put the sites on top for a reason." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"fan-fistbump" That scene is classic. It should be posted in response to this post....cough"hint"cough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know it was posted on 1.0 (because I've read it, and I don't read Punisher), but I can't recall if it's been reposted... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Punisher MAX #19, or the first issue in the trade "Up is Down, Black is White." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	GEH. Garth Ennis needs to write a Punisher issue where Frank hunts down a white trash rapster crook and does unspeakable things to him. (Reply to this)

	That is a complete fucking joke. Please tell me Frank got up and broke him into little bitty pieces for that? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This WAS written for the rapper, basically. Van Lente had to butter him up a little--in character, Frank would've broken Eminem's twig-like arms. He fudges by showing Frank getting taken by a lucky punch by somebody he was trying to rescue. You can always read the issue to find out, though.. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It wasn't bad, it was a funny little issue imo (Reply to this)

	I have to admit, seeing Eminem repeatedly pistol whip Frank while singing the lyrics to "Kill You" did make me giggle. My guess is that it either ends with: A) Old-school-esque team-up to take out real bad guys. B) Frank kills him in a horrific fashion. (Reply to this)

	God this looks awful. (Reply to this)

	The issue ends with the Punisher leaving Eminem on an iceberg with a phone to call for help. (Reply to this)

	there is no way that would go unpunished now everytime I see Eminem on TV, I'm going to imagine Frank coming up behind him with a very large gun (Reply to this)
