Jennifer Blood #34

Issue #34 of Dynamite's Jennifer Blood announces itself with one of the series' most unsettling covers: a close-up face rendered almost entirely in deep crimson and shadow, streaked with rivulets of blood running down from round, reflective glasses and a sutured mouth, converging into a branching vein-like pattern at the chin — all painted by Blute against an absolute black backdrop. The image is visceral and hypnotic, the kind of cover that stops you cold at the spinner rack. For fans of this Dynamite series in 2013, this issue promises the series' signature intensity delivered with genuine artistic flair.
