Between Family Guy and a comic book, it may be difficult for the real Slim Shady to actually stand up.

Eminem is on one of the most unusual promotional tours in recent history—an appearance on the popular Fox cartoon, a residency on Jimmy Kimmel Live and now a battle with the Punisher—for the May 19 release of his album, Relapse.

The rapper has teamed with Marvel Comics and XXL magazine for Eminem/Punisher: Kill You. Fans who buy one of the two June magazine covers featuring the star (on newsstands now) will score the first half of the special comic.

According to the press release, the tale takes place after a Slim Shady performance in Detroit. He teams up with the Punisher's nemesis, Barracuda, and things get bloody.

The second half is available for free now on Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited.
