Jenna Blue Vol. 1
by Jason M. Burns and
Steve Grendron
Jenna Blue is a hired gun. The result of a genetic experiment designed to develop a superior race of humans. To what purpose? For the betterment of mankind? Not quite. More like a really effective, yet expendable assassin. She's not exactly superpowered, but she certainly has abilities far beyond your typical hit woman. As her adventure begins, a routine assignment soon turns into a mystery she's compelled to resolve.
Outlaw Entertainment editor-in-cheif, Jason M. Burns turns in another well-written script wonderfully illustrated by Steve Grendon in a cartoony realistic style. Like the other comics I've seen from Outlaw this one is a little over 100 pages. Plenty of space to develop characters and plot elements. I like Burns' approach to writing comics. Lots of dialog and narration. Grendon is fond of dynamic camera angles for his page and panel layouts that add to the fun. The comic is full color throughout, but colorist Ciaran Lucas paints Jenna's world in sepia tones with only occasional flashes of sexy red lips and of course that telltale genetically-engineered blue skin.
Jenna Blue is divided into four chapters of twenty-something pages each. The extra pages in the back provide a preview of an upcoming project called Confession. The balance of the pages are ads for other Outlaw graphic novels.
Jenna Blue is 6.5" x 10". Cover by Nick Bradshaw. It's available from Outlaw Entertainment for $7.99 or in comic shops around the country.
