Review! Jennifer Blood: First Blood #1 (Dynamite)

COVER: Mike Mayhew. I usually enjoy this guys work. It is rather obvious that he uses photo references
                for his paintings. Well, this cover has some things that really bother me. First, what is with that ugly
                right foot of "karate Jennifer"? Then, what is that lump of flesh colored "something" that connects
                her arm and her back on the foreground figure? Last, Mayhew seems to think that adding black
                ink lines to the painting makes it more "comicy"...it doesn't.
STORY: Mike Carroll. This is my first 'Jennifer Blood' comic. Might be my last. It is just too slow and
                not very interesting on how long this woman has waited to get her revenge...and is still waiting.
                Feels like a watered down 'Punisher' story.
ART: Igor Vitorino. His stuff feels like a poor mans Bryan Hitch.
FINAL FILE:#1 and Done!
