“Ninjettes is where I get to look at some of the classic exploitation tropes,” says writer Al Ewing. “Hopefully I will twist them into something that appeals to a broad spectrum of readers, while remaining a rich, raw, red slab of bleeding meat split straight from the mooing flank of pop culture, given a gun and told to go out and kill! Kill! KILL!”

“Al Ewing is poised to take the American comics market by storm,” adds Dynamite Editor Joe Rybandt. “A quiet madman, hiding in plain sight, writing inventive, dark comics fiction. This is the next logical step for the fan-favorite Ninjettes and you won’t want to miss out.”
“I am pleased of Jennifer Blood’s success (and gore),” states Dynamite enjoyment president and publisher Nick Barrucci. “I am very ecstatic to have Al on board, and for The Ninjettes and Jennifer Blood being his first writing assignments in the United States! look for Al’s star to rise in the near future!”
