On two different covers for the June issue of XXL, Eminem embraces his inner Frank Castle, appearing as Marvel Comics character The Punisher and what in God’s name is going on with his Frankenstein brow? Was it always like that? Did they photoshop it to make him look… browier? Will this issue be packaged with a 3-D cover so as to ensure extra browage? Is he the missing link?
It’s the kind of tie-in that will only matter to 14-year-old boys and hardcore Eminem fans, seeing as how the last two Punisher movies haven’t exactly lit up the box office. Wait. 14-year-old boys… hardcore Eminem fans. I could be talking about the same people here. Think the tie-in comic will suck? Let’s put it this way: The Punisher might be a less interesting character than the Hulk. Here is his response to every single moral quandary he faces: shoot things. Need vengeance? Shoot things. See a hot girl? Shoot things. Rerun of Dancing With The Stars? Shoot things. He hasn’t changed as a character since his inception, much like, well, Eminem. Oh, now I get it!

Um, that seriously looks like his parasitic twin is poking out of his forehead.
I feel bad for being so critical of him now that I know he has Down’s Syndrome.
Um, good to know that men can get airbrushed out of recognition the same way that women can.
@lastclearchance: Haha. I’ve heard great stuff about that movie because of scenes like that. Plus, McNulty’s in it.
Isn’t this the same magazine he dissed on “The Marshall Mathers LP” way back when?
Not that I infer integrity to Eminem, but the guy does know how to hold a grudge.
ghey
He just looks funny. Maybe he was trying to achieve the ‘beefcake status’ that 50 had some years ago, or something. He should just know that *beauty* won’t last forever. Or in their case, cut pecs.
