Jennifer's Body by Ming Doyle, Alan Robinson R., Jim Mahfood, Nikki Cook, Rick Spears, Tim Seeley
3.0
First note: I have never heard of or seen the movie for Jennifer's Body before reading this graphic book.
Jennifer Check is an incredibly popular and attractive high school female with a dark, horrific secret - she is currently possessed by a hungry demon with an insatiable appetite. I found the novel fun and enjoyable with the right amount of blood splatter. I thought the plot was lacking but in light of it being an adaption of what appears to be a pretty typical horror film, I feel as though this is not the fault of the Mr. Rick Spears.
I love the concept of a graphic novel incorporating several different artists to depict a single story HOWEVER I personally thought the illustrations in the first chapter (by Jim Mahfood, I believe) just didn't meld as nicely together as each of the other chapters/illustrators.
All in all though, a nice sit down horror and gore to fill in my day.
