Dynamite Pushes Jennifer Blood: Born Again


Steven Grant's time on The Punisher made him famous. His time working on Two Guns brought together Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington. Now, his time working with Dynamite Entertainment will bring to readers Jennifer Blood: Born Again. Not only that, but he'll be joined by artists Kewber Baal and covers by Stephen Segovia.

"I don't play with other people's toys much anymore, but Jennifer Blood was too juicy a prospect to pass up," said Grant. "As one of Garth's greatest creations, she was pure psychopulp, that's what I love about her, and the psychopulp is what we're going for as we bring her back from the precipice after she has lost everything, and give her a new focus, a new home and a new direction. She used to be crazy, with a thick veneer of sane hiding it. Now she's chillingly sane, but it's crazy-sane. She has been a lot of fun."

In Jennifer Blood: Born Again #1, the streets of Lalaland run red when Jennifer Blood returns to declare a new war on the mobs. Or does she? As a low level hood plots to leverage her in a bid to take over the Los Angeles underworld, her war attracts some very dangerous attention and unexpectedly sets a lethal international chain of events in motion. A deadly new direction from Grant.

"I've known Steven for 20 years, and since Dynamite began publishing 10 years ago I've wanted to work with Steve," states Dynamite CEO/Publisher Nick Barrucci. "His incredible body of work ranges from The Hulk to the Avengers, and was the first writer to turn the Punisher in to one of Marvel's leading characters, and of course now 2 Guns. It's rewarding that a writer of Steven's caliber is finally working with us, and on an extremely important character to Dynamite - Jennifer Blood."

Jennifer Blood: Born Again #1 will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors' June Previews catalog, the premiere source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in August 2014. Comic book fans are encouraged to reserve copies of Jennifer Blood: Born Again #1 with their local comic book retailers. Jennifer Blood: Born Again #1 will also be available for individual customer purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, iVerse and Dark Horse Digital.
