JENNA JAMESON'S SHADOW HUNTER #1

Created by: Jenna Jameson
Written by: Christina Z
Art by: Mukesh Singh
From the mind of Jenna Jameson, NY Times Bestselling author and iconic entertainer and wirtten by Christina Z (WITCHBLADE) comes a dark tale of one woman's struggle with forces beyond ordinary perception. In this Special Oversized issue, star artist Mukesh Singh (GAMEKEEPER) illustrates the beginning of the saga. A young, orphaned, beautiful woman attempts to make a life for herself in the big city. As she grapples with mundane problems like making rent and a creepy manager at work, something deeper brews; a nagging suspicion that her life is not her own. Seeking answers (not to mention extra cash) she enrolls in a past life regression experiment which seems to ignite visions of a demonic past that no one can explain.
