FAIL: EMINEM STARS IN NEW PUNISHER COMIC



In what seems like a desperate attempt to boost the fanbase of both parties, Marvel and Eminem have joined forces to produce the greatest lump shit to hit comic books since One More Day. The story involves Eminem becoming caught up in a shoot out or something after a show, at which point dear ol' Frank gets involved. Apparently the two team up realizing that despite decades of Marine training and vigilantism and a stockpile of weapons big enough to start a small army, this job is just too big for the Punisher to handle alone. Who can assist him in the daunting mission of taking down the same breed of street thugs he's been murdering for years? Spider-Man? Daredevil? While both have proved their worth in previous team-ups, they still can't quite match the level of skill that years of multi-platinum record sales has brought Eminem.



This is a pathetic joke and anyone who buys this trash should be shot. In the knees. Obviously they'll be able to take it if they're willing to put themselves through that kind of torture. I really hope Marvel gets their shit together soon. Eminem/Punisher: Kill You (creative, I know) came out yesterday and is split in two halves, one on store shelves, and one on marvel.com. I tell you this in the hope that you will avoid either at all costs until this shitstorm has passed.

I GEZ I MUSTA KILLED DEM



Eminem's got a new video out and the consensus seems to be in line with my reaction: good lyrics, nice flow, but what in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory is with that voice? It sounds as if Mister Mathers has been grabbing his balls just a little to hard lately. It's the voice he usually uses to break things up or to imitate someone, but here it's the normal tone for the entire song. I don't understand it. I'd like the song if it weren't for that one aspect. The chorus is a little weak, but it's made up for with the great surrealist-psycho themes Eminem is known for.

The video has issues too. The whole "B Horror Film" theme is a bit trite and a lot lame. There's plenty of blood, gore, and sharp object, and enough green tint to make you think you were watching the latest
Saw film. Eminem rapping in the woods with his shirt off is no improvement either. I expected more from an artist's whose videos (at least until recently) have always impressed me with either great pop-culture spoofs and nice animations.

Anyway here it is, the latest from Eminem's
The Relapse, "3AM".
