8 Greatest Punisher Crossover Stories

Although the Punisher considers New York his home, his missions let him travel abroad, like the time he went to Detroit, home to one of the most controversial rappers ever, Eminem.

After his concert, Em and his men are greeted by the Punisher, who murders his security. Frank is gunning for Barracuda, an old friend of Eminem’s from his battle rapping days. Punisher follows Cuda and Eminem, where he is tricked and shot, by Slim Shady himself.

Now alone, Barracuda explains to Eminem that he was paid to murder Em before Frank stepped in. He knocks the artist out, and when Eminem comes to, he is chained to the Punisher, and on the deck of a boat, in the middle of a frozen ocean. Em manages to escape, bumps into one of his fans who happens to be ice fishing, and borrows his chainsaw.

Moments later Punisher is getting beaten down by Barracuda, when Eminem boards the boat, chainsaw in hand, and slices his former friend’s arm off. Shady frees Frank after kicking Barracuda overboard, and Punisher returns the favor by forcing Em onto the frozen ocean as well, leaving him behind, but leaving him alive.
