And the tides turnJennifer is obviously not a heroin... Or is she a person doing what others can't or won't? A remarkable example is things going from bad to worse
DPL hoopla
Brutal funny and crazyBrilliant read. Wasn't to sure about reading this but glad I did. Very addicted to this series well worth it. Funny mad and crazy you will love it.
Not necessarily better, but at least there's a clearer direction for the character, and what feels like a dead end. It's not disastrously bad, it's just mediocre; passable. But I guess I'm sticking with the series to find out how they really manage to build up from this point. It's pretty bad, really. But the series has seen worse.
And then everything comes to wee stop as Jennifer is sent to prison. I had totally forgotten how good Ewings writing is in Jennifer Blood. He really does brilliant job after Ennis.Only thing that is keeping me giving five starts to this one is the totally separate Origin-kind of story from issue 24. That did not belong to this at all. Who cares where the Blute family came?
It's not necessarily and improvement from the previous volume, mainly because how cold blooded she has become but at the same time, she is on the road to self discovery. As a matter of whether she will pay for her crimes, it is a mystery. The writing was actually pretty good this time and after all these issues, Jennifer is finally showing some growth.
I've basically given up on expecting much from this series, and am now reading it simply as a guilty pleasure, ridiculous trash that somehow still manages to not be awful enough to put down.It was inevitable that at one point we'd get the "women in prison" storyline, and this hits just about all the expected notes. Plenty of it is rather implausible (but I've long foregone expecting normal levels of suspension of disbelief while reading this comic) and towards the end it gets drawn out a bit lon...
I read the comic books Garth Ennis Jennifer Blood #19-24. It had to happen - the trial of Jennifer Blood and the shocking consequences… there's not much like this out there! Darkly comedic, deathly violent, and gory as hell!9 out of 12.
After reading the third volume I basically gave up on this series. I started this one as a guilty pleasure and to my surprise, it sort of redeemed itself a little bit. The biggest redeeming factor was the ending that was told from Jennifer's point of view and ended on a fitting note. Can't say I can recommend reading this series but I enjoyed it for the most part.
Jen is caught and goes to trial, but the road to that moment is a long one. She tries to leave the past behind her and rebuild a new life with a new identity, but her enemies won't leave her be and her family deserts her. In jail she rationalizes her recent events and even challenges the reader to claim they wouldn't do exactly the same, given the circumstances. The tone is the darkest it's ever been so far in the series, but it's worth reading for the ending monologue alone.Jen's killing spree
Dark and bloody.
Not sure who this is really for. There is no one to root for as Jennifer is not a protagonist in the least any more. The book still moves much too quickly and anything interesting gets glossed over. The art is still mundane and unpleasing to the eye. Overall, still a mess.
The main character has now been reduced to a complete parody of her original self. Not recommended; the series should have ended with Ennis’s final issue (#6).I’m halfway through volume five now, and it gets even worse. “Jennifer” isn’t even part of the story by that point, except as an offstage character who gets talked about by other people.
Keeps on being as full of violence and blood as ever
2.5 stars. Enjoyable as a guilty pleasure, but when the heroine has move beyond the point of likability, it's tough to rise above the level of garish tabloid shoot-em-up.
Completely and utterly pointless
