The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of JENNIFER BLOOD #11 from Dynamite Entertainment. Al Ewing writes, Kewber Ball draws, Inlight
Studios colors, and Rob Steen letters.
This book is about a housewife-turned-vigilante who calls
herself Jennifer Blood. She takes down criminals and takes care of her family.
In this issue Jen has raised the ire of yet another crime boss, and has to
leave her family in the lurch for a bit while she attacks. Her husband
struggles with her absence, and Jen meets a new threat.
Vigilante violence meets domestic discord. Hardly a
surprising combination given the circumstances, but it works well here. The
violent side is pretty straightforward (and well drawn, I might add) and the ‘checklist’
narration adds nicely to the feel of the story. And on the family side, the
story is done well enough that it’s hard to tell whether Jen’s domestic skills
or hubby’s total incompetence that causes the obvious marital strife.
This is a fun book overall. It’s certainly aimed at an adult
audience, though. But it’s got plenty of explosions and enough crazy to go
around.
JENNIFER BLOOD #11 is available now at your FLCS or by order
from dynamite.net.
