(pb; 2013: graphic novel, collecting issues #13-18 of the series. Third entry in the Jennifer Blood graphic novel series.)
From the back cover:
"It looks like Jen's finally got everything she wants - her crusade against her murderous Uncles is over and done with and she's successfully fended off attacks by everyone from war profiteers to waffle salesmen. There's just one tiny fly in the ointment: Detective Elaine Pruitt, Homicide. Jennifer Blood killed her partner, but didn't quite manage to kill her.
"That was a mistake.
"Meanwhile, an old flame of Andy's re-enters his life. For anyone else's family, it'd be the makings of a fairly standard suburban drama.
"But this is Jennifer Blood's family.
"And she'll do anything she thinks she has to in order to preserve it."
Review:
Jen's life spirals further out of control as the loose ends of her weeklong vendetta - a ticked-off cop, an unstable marriage and other elements - come back to haunt her in bleakly hilarious, bloody and super-violent fashion. The ending is a logical yet radical turn story-wise, one that looks like it will lead to promising developments in the next collection, Jennifer Blood: The Trial of Jennifer Blood.
(pb; 2012: graphic novel, collecting issues #7-12 of the series. Second entry in the Jennifer Blood graphic novel series.)
From the back cover:
"Jen Fellows is a housewife with two kids, a devoted husband, a beautiful suburban home, two cars, a plasma TV, a Mk. 153 SMAW Launcher, an AK47, ten pounds of C4, a large number of grenades, several hundred rounds of hollow-point-point ammunition, a great big knife. . .
"Jen Fellows was also Jennifer Blood, a vengeance-fueled vigilante taking brutal vengeance on the five men who destroyed her parents. But now that she's finished off the last of them, her mission is over at last.
". . . In a word. . . no.
"It turns out you can't murder the five heads of a crime family - plus various assorted bodyguards, associates, ninja schoolgirl assassins, etc. - without any consequences. There are leftover weapons to dispose of, nosy neighbors who might know a little too much, kids getting too curious about the hidden armory in the basement, detectives picking up all the clues you forgot you dropped. . . and a consortium of rich and powerful people, with private armies of highly trained mercenaries at their command, who want a little revenge of their own."
Review:
More bloody and violent hilarity, suburban public kink-wear and surreal unintended consequences ensue as Jen/nifer's vendetta against her crime-family family winds down, and the relatives and associates of those she killed seek revenge while the cops seek answers regarding her previous slaughters. Wildly entertaining stuff, this - worth owning.
Followed by Jennifer Blood: Neither Tarnished Nor Afraid.
