- VinceMancini, on 05/06/2009, -4/+64Yeah, I'll be honest: I'll take Eminem over a Black Eyed Pea any day.
- PlusTheBear, on 05/06/2009, -1/+55Punishing.
- jeremymccurdy, on 05/06/2009, -3/+34The readers.
- Powerfan5000, on 05/06/2009, -5/+30Will the real Frank Castle please stand up.
- Thunderballs, on 05/06/2009, -2/+23It's because he didn't get the part of Rorschach in the Watchmen movie.
- Mnementh2230, on 05/06/2009, -1/+16Looks to me like he's hurting the credibility of Frank Castle - Frank knows not to hold a gun sideways.
"They put the sights on top for a reason." - Foenetik, on 05/06/2009, -12/+22looks like he's being a worthless annoyance, not a far cry from his regular role.
- BananaGrabber, on 05/06/2009, -0/+9Just read it. It's actually kind of funny.
https://subscriptions.marvel.com/digitalcomics/vie ... - BananaGrabber, on 05/06/2009, -0/+7That's one of those digital comic exclusives that aren't printed on paper. They're basically non-canon throw away comics. I haven't read it, but Fred Van Lente is a decent and funny writer though. Can't be that horrible.
- theprototype, on 05/06/2009, -0/+5Its a promo for the new issue of XXL. He's on the cover as Punisher. They got Marvel to do a comic.

"Selling out" refers to the compromising of one's integrity, morality and principles in exchange for money, 'success' (however defined) or other personal gain. It is commonly associated with attempts to increase mass appeal or acceptability to mainstream society. A person who does this, as opposed to continuing along his or her original path, is labelled a sellout and typically regarded with disgust and immediate loss of respect. Selling out is often seen as gaining success at the cost of credibility.
So back to Eminem he is appearing in the comic just to get money and becoming to commercialized and not sticking to his roots. Just like Snoop Dogg :( - Treshnell, on 05/06/2009, -0/+4In reference to "compromising one's integrity, morals, or principles" for gain, I'd agree. But it says "it is commonly associated with attempts to increase mass appeal or acceptability to mainstream society."
That doesn't mean that gaining mass appeal instantly makes you a sell out. It's only if you compromised your morals/integrity/principles to do it. Maybe he's always been a comic book fan and thought it would be cool to be a part of that.
At any rate, people change, their opinions change, their likes and dislikes change. Even their personalities can change. If anything, if I saw him doing the same exact stuff these days that he did 10 years ago, I'd think he's a sellout: capitalizing on the type of music that made him popular instead of letting his music change with the way he's changed. - PDAIsAOk, on 05/06/2009, -4/+8You mean: Jesus Christ monkey balls what the hell is Eminem doing in Punisher?!
- Philbert, on 05/06/2009, -1/+4Wow I'm already not a huge fan of super hero comics, now they're trying to push me further away.
- sethc, on 05/06/2009, -0/+3Punisher: War Zone already took care of that.
- Carver520, on 05/06/2009, -1/+4Wu Tang did it better: http://www.wu-international.com/BooksComicsGames/C ...
- inactive, on 05/06/2009, -3/+6explain
- skyfyre, on 05/06/2009, -3/+6It's an Embomination.
- heavystone, on 05/06/2009, -0/+3Why is The Punisher holding his guns like a gay man? Almost looks like a MAD magazine cover.
- NiceGuyVan, on 05/06/2009, -2/+4Thank God. Any movie is better off not having him
- sadchild, on 05/07/2009, -0/+2review of Eminem's song 3AM
After being thoroughly unimpressed with "We Made You," "Crack A Bottle," and a handful of Eminem's latest freestyles, I recently wrote, "I hope something else on Relapse, or its scheduled follow-up album, saves Em from the cut-out bin at the CD shops."
With Em's new single "3am," I have a feeling of renewed hope. I wouldn't call this song a full return to glory, but it is a very promising sign that Relapse and its sister album may have some tracks that will appeal to fans of his earlier (darker and more controversial) material...

- dizavin, on 05/06/2009, -0/+2*crickets*
*tumbleweed* - bjs3171, on 05/06/2009, -0/+2the "magnify words" function doesn't work. because it's ***** flash.
- MulletMadness, on 05/06/2009, -0/+2I love the Punisher and I have nothing bad to say about Eminem, but this is completely utterly wrong wrong wrong.
- NiceGuyVan, on 05/06/2009, -2/+4ruining it, that's what
- TheBigL481, on 05/06/2009, -1/+3I just read it...
What a piece of *****. Art, storytelling, writing. Total *****. - happytrees, on 05/06/2009, -1/+2that new 3am video kinda goes with the whole punisher idea...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMrBcVx33Ek - DinosWillDie13, on 05/06/2009, -0/+1guess it depends what you are listening for in music.
- dizavin, on 05/06/2009, -0/+1what's he doing in a Punisher comic? paying money to get in, I would assume.
but you never know, if Vin Diesel can turn out to be a huge D&D nerd, Marshall Mathers could very well be a big Punisher fan. - TheGrizah, on 05/06/2009, -0/+1I was wondering what he was doing in Wanted...not the movie.
- cyssero, on 05/07/2009, -0/+1Yes - his new album has a track on it called "My Mom" in the tracklist.
- happytrees, on 05/06/2009, -0/+1yeah, that was better than I expected.
- harrisbradley, on 05/06/2009, -1/+2If Obama can be in Spider-Man, Slim can definitely be in Punisher
- spar13, on 05/06/2009, -0/+1http://lh4.ggpht.com/_EHZsoUS6SIA/SfDMrVESZ3I/AAAA ...
- inactive, on 05/06/2009, -3/+4Maybe it was his Guilty Conscience that made him do it.
- D3koy, on 05/06/2009, -0/+1Once I figured out to just set it to single page it worked out pretty well, and was kinda funny at the end...
- Eminemdrdre00, on 05/07/2009, -0/+1 Personally...I like Eminem, Dr Dre's new "Old Times Sake" single. But thats just me.
- kontraire, on 05/12/2009, -0/+1Jesus H. Christ, no. No, no, no.
Aside from the fact that he's an arrogant, no-talent assclown, I don't really have anything against Eminem...until now. - PlusTheBear, on 05/06/2009, -2/+2Asher Roth impression.
- imautobot, on 05/06/2009, -21/+21Being a douchebag, that's what.
- Eminemdrdre00, on 05/07/2009, -1/+1I love college!
- inactive, on 05/08/2009, -0/+0I have the entire relapse album and it's ***** righteous!
- robdip, on 05/06/2009, -2/+2With his.
- inactive, on 05/06/2009, -0/+0Lol. I knew somebody was going to understand it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBJnfel2428 - inactive, on 05/06/2009, -3/+2not sticking to his roots? What makes you think that "getting money and become commercialized" was his reason for doing the comic? What if he is a punisher fan? So he isnt allowed to do anything but rap or else he is a sellout.....right.
Why is snoop a sell out? He is still rapping about the same stuff as he did on doggy style. People are quick to call someone a sellout just because they see them doing commercials or movies. - DinosWillDie13, on 05/06/2009, -9/+8whats with all this bashing on eminem? he actually used to put out some good stuff. but I agree its pretty ***** up he is in a comic
