Jennifer Blood is a suburban wife and mom by day - and a ruthless vigilante by night! Every day she makes breakfast, takes the kids to school, cleans the house, naps for an hour or two, makes dinner, puts the kids to bed, and kisses her husband goodnight. This suburban punisher is ready to be unleashed in a story that can only be told by the legendary Garth Ennis.

Picking up right where Garth Ennis' epic 6-issue run left off! Jen's bloody war against the Blutes is over and it's time for the cleanup phase of the operation. All's well that ends well? In a word... no. Jen's enemies get a little too close, Jack gets a little too crazy, and it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye! How far is Jen really prepared to go to keep her revenge from wrecking her life, and what happens when the people she loves get in the way? Collecting issues #7-12 of the ongoing series, Jennifer Blood, along with a cover gallery featuring artwork by Tim Bradstreet and Ale Garza. 'If you dug on the messed-up first arc of Jennifer Blood, you should be very happy because the quality and insanity continues. Ewing comes on board and shows our titular heroine isn't just a one-trick pony. He doesn't try to replicate Ennis' run but instead builds gloriously up from it like an ambitious kid making a three story sandcastle with wi-fi and a car wash. The first arc was just the introduction, now we need to see Jennifer reap the blood she worked so hard to sew.' - Comic

Sometimes 'always' isn't very long.' It looks like Jen's finally got everything she wants - her crusade against her murderous Uncles is over and done with and she's successfully fended off attacks by everyone from war profiteers to waffle salesmen. There's just one tiny fly in the ointment: Detective Elaine Pruitt, Homicide. Jennifer Blood killed her partner, but didn't quite manage to kill her. That was a mistake. Meanwhile, an old flame of Andy's re-enters his life. For anyone else's family, it'd be the makings of a fairly standard suburban drama. But this is Jennifer Blood's family. And she'll do anything she thinks she has to to preserve it. This volume collects issues 13-18 by Al Ewing, Kewber Baal and Eman Casallos, and includes all of the covers by Tim Bradstreet and more.
