Giulietta Romeo, the ice cold professional assassin who was introduced in the recent Jennifer Blood series, is back in Jennifer Blood Presents: Giulietta Romeo: Hitwoman. Writer Fred Van Lente is giving the bandage-masked hitwoman her own comic, inspired by William Shakespeare.

Van Lente is joined by artist Robert Carey (James Bond) and the comic will feature covers by Lesley “Leirix” Li, Drew Moss, and Valentina Pinti.

Italian assassin Giulietta Romeo will star in La Tempesta, a noir-style version of Shakespeare’s play, The Tempest. Following the events in Bountiful, Giulietta is being extradited to Italy when her plane is shot down over an island in the Atlantic. The remote location was a former Nazi stronghold that is now the home of Prospero, a former duke of the Naples mobs. His brother, the man who usurped his position, was also on the same plane and Giulietta ends up in the middle of a gory feud.

“I think all readers will really love the Hot New Crime Writer of 2022, William ‘Bloody Billy’ Shakespeare,” Van Lente said. “I’m just the vessel that is bringing the island mob vengeance saga The Tempest to life.”

Jennifer Blood Presents: Giulietta Romeo: Hitwoman is solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ October 2022 PREVIEWS catalog. It is set for release in December 2022.
