During the Dynamite Entertainment panel at C2E2 this last weekend, it was announced that following the first arc of six-issues of Garth Ennis’ Jennifer Blood, Ennis would be stepping down to allow British writer Al Ewing to take over for the second arc! Ewing will be working closely with Ennis on the story.

Huge congratulation to Al Ewing, who is one of my favourite writers! US readers are likely unfamiliar with Al’s work, as this is his first big US gig, but I would strongly recommend picking up the trades of his 2000 AD strips such as Zombo and Tempest, or one of his excellent novels, which I recently interviewed him about (see here).
