When facing prison, our violent heroine is doing what she can to survive but is her story still worth following?  Read on to find out.

The official description from Dynamite:

Stone-cold vigilante Jennifer Blood is no longer trapped in the confines of the domestic life. No, now she’s the most notorious inmate of Las Chacales Women’s Correctional Facility… and she fears that she’s been targeted by someone beyond the bars and barbed wire. Who could possibly have the connections and inclination to reach her in prison?

There are times that when I cover a given comic book series that I find myself eagerly anticipating the next outing as I wonder where the narrative will go from here.  This is one of those books, and with each new entry my interest continues to be peaked as curve balls I don’t expect continue to be thrown into this game.

Mike Carroll continues to spin the yarn of his first arc, and so far things are looking to be right on track as everyone’s favorite former housewife turned mass murderer faces the challenges of a future escape. The pieces are literally falling into place as the author slowly but methodically moves things forward. It’s an interesting situation, watching a character that’s so in control of her body and spirit slowly being pushed and pulled by her experiences behind bars and the intriguing notion is certainly not lost on Jennifer Blood herself.

Kewber Baal handles the art and the title looks just as good as it always does. Faces are fully formed, the bodies are functional and there are even a few solidly rendered set pieces that will surely catch the eye of any wayward followers.  That being said there were a few moments where panels seemed to lack a consistent hand resulting in some rather off putting renditions that did detract from the visual aspects before everything was said and done.

Jennifer Blood #26 is another solid entry that sees fit to propel this saga forward in all kinds of interesting ways.  Between the illustrations and the text this comic book easily comes recommended.
