Dynamite Entertainment has announced that suburban housewife turned brutal crusader against crime Jennifer Blood will make her return this December with the launch of the brand new series Jennifer Blood: Battle Diary from writer Fred Van Lente (Jennifer Blood: Bloodlines) and artist Robert Carey (Jennifer Blood Presents… Giulietta Romeo: Hitwoman).
“She’s a vigilante who cares more about killing any criminal she happens to come across than her own life,” said writer Fred Van Lente. “As a character she’s a live hand grenade you just lob in the middle of any situation and it instantly becomes dramatic. It’s hard not to get the blood pumping when you have such a limitless possibility of stories like that. I’m just thrilled the readers are responding too, and keep us coming back out for encores. What’s not to love?”
Check out the official description for the new series along with the covers to Jennifer Blood: Battle Diary #1 from Joseph Michael Linsner, Lesley “Leirix” Li, and Rebeca Puebla…
The modern Jennifer Blood is the daughter of the original, Jennifer Blute, created by Garth Ennis, her daughter Alice all grown up and taking on her mantle of cleaning the streets of bad actors and up against the whole world for the life she was cursed with. At the end of her last adventure, the new Blood was once again presumed dead in action, the one-woman army believed buried. That’s always her master plan though, but it’s torn to pieces when she decides to visit her mother’s original penitentiary gravesite.
This time Jennifer Blood will find herself under the aim of America’s white supremacist groups, prolific in and out of the prison system. Nothing is ever simple with Blood involved though, so she finds herself stuck between two rival factions, the Volk and Crooked Cross. With fake, testy alliances and playing both sides, this can only end up with one outcome… Blood, and lots of dead Nazis.
Jennifer Blood: Battle Diary #1 will go on sale in December.
