An injured woman is lodged into a facility clinic that harbors criminals and the like. Upon discovery of her whereabouts, many forces that are in pursuit of this woman believe the patient to be the gun-toting vigilante: Jennifer Blood! 
With various enemies hot on her trail, can Jennifer Blood awaken from unconsciousness before her enemies get her? Who is willing to forge an unlikely alliance in order to get the support of the legendary vigilante?
Every now and then one can forget that Jennifer Blood is a Garth Ennis creation, which is fitting given that she could easily be a match made in hell for another Skull-clad, gun-toting vigilante from another universe. That aside, what makes this book great is that readers can jump into the book and ride along with the story with ease. Fred Van Lente is no stranger to writing vigilante characters or war-torn heroes ( be it Deadpool, Punisher, Captain America, among others) so writing a character such as Jennifer Blood is fitting for Lente. He has a good grasp of the character and taps into what makes her a fun character to follow throughout the story. The story itself is full of action and humor that’s easy to pick up and enjoy throughout. Waves of enemies against one character with her back against the wall? Sounds like the perfect action story to go nuts with, and Lente does just that although with some minor restraint, yet despite that, he still manages to keep the book in keeping to the character and title.
Vincenzo Fedeci does a fine job with the art, delivering action-packed layouts riddled with bullets and blood. While the artwork isn’t the most stylized work on the stands, Fedeci displays his abilities as a visual storyteller that’s able to communicate what’s on the panels with clarity and precision. Dearbhla Kelly contributes colorwork, embellishing the established linework of Fedeci, adding a cool stylized retro flair with her color combinations that really make the book stand out visually. Jeff Eckleberry contributes solid lettering throughout the book that is enjoyable to read along with the rest of the book, keeping the writing and art tight-knit as a pleasurable read.
This is a fun issue that holds all of the ingredients that make a Garth Ennis-created book an easily enjoyable read. A Vigilante going up against forces that stop at nothing to try and end her? A Vigilante that is determined to face all odds while maintaining a family life? What’s not to love? If you enjoy Fred Van Lente’s work on established characters such as Deadpool and Punisher, If you enjoy Ennis’s Punisher work, I think there’s something to enjoy with this issue and this series. Add this to your pull list for new comic book day.
