Fred Van Lente is taking his hitwoman antagonist on a whole new adventure in Jennifer Blood Presents: Giulietta Romeo: Hitwoman, a new one-shot from Dynamite Entertainment.
Slamming her way out of the pages of the recent Jennifer Blood: Bloodlines series, Italian assassin Giulietta Romeo stars in “La Tempesta,” a noirish reimagining of the William Shakespeare play The Tempest. Giulietta is being extradited to Italy after the events of the “Bountiful” storyline when her plane is shot down over a remote island in the Atlantic, a former Nazi stronghold that is now the tiny kingdom of a man named Prospero, a former duke of the Naples mobs. His brother, the man who usurped his position, was being extradited on that same plane, and Giulietta finds herself in the middle of a gory blood feud and fighting for her life against Prospero’s monstrous servants, Caliban and Ariel.
“I think all readers will really love the Hot New Crime Writer of 2022, William “Bloody Billy” Shakespeare,” joked Van Lente in a press release from Dynamite Entertainment. “I’m just the vessel that is bringing the island mob vengeance saga La Tempesta to life.”
Jennifer Blood Presents: Giulietta Romeo: Hitwoman is scheduled to arrive in December 2022.
