Eminem x The Punisher. Slim Shady is pulling out all the stops with his recent marketing campaign. In a first, Slim is collaborating with Marvel Comics’ “Punisher” comic as an actual comic book character. Highbrid Nation had the details with part one of the comic available yesterday in issues of XXL Magazine and part two available at the official Marvel x Eminem site as a digital comic.

Official synopsis as follows: Who’s killing whom? With Punisher, Slim Shady and Barracuda all armed to the teeth and gunning for each other, expect plenty of bullets, blood and betrayals in PUNISHER/EMINEM: KILL YOU by Fred Van Lente and Salvador Larroca.

Could this be the first of many hip-hop and comic book collabs? Wu-Tang and the Avengers? Wolverine and Busta Rhymes? Kanye West and Cat Woman? The possibilities are endless.
