Jenna Jameson’s Shadow Hunter #0
“WHAT?! Jenna Jameson’s Shadow Hunter?! Wait, she does comics too? WTF?” *Head explodes*
Thats probably the reaction of every comic fan out there. I’m pretty sure everyone thought it was a joke. Jenna is known best for her amazing performance in the porn industry, and it’s a sure bet that many comic book fans would love to have a piece of her. Just nobody expected it that it would be inside panels and splash pages. It’s being written by Jenna herself, and Christina Z, and published by Virgin Comics. Yea, a bit of an irony on that last part, right? Whatever joke you are thinking about now, it’s been overdone already. But what do you know? judging from the preview issue #0, this might actually turn out to be good.
From what has been shown so far, the story follows a young woman who has had visions of demons and monsters for most of her life. She’s the only one who can see them, and the only one who can take these shadows down. They are supposed to be some kind of manifestation of a parallel life. Whatever they are, they look damn awesome, and so does “Jaden”, Jenna’s comic persona, drawn in the style of Mukesh Singh. To complement it all, the cover is done by super-star Greg Horn, and we also get a preview of the next set of covers. Yes, they also look amazing.
I picked this book expecting to be a complete pile of cow dump, another way for Jenna to market herself, but I found myself really enjoying this preview, and it left me looking forward to get issue #1. We’ll see then, if it can truly live up to what issue 0 set up.
Score: 4/5
