I haven’t seen this Megan Fox vehicle either on the screen or on DVD and I have no plans to do so in the feature since slasher flicks are not my cup of tea. This puts a twist on the old horror formula, as the female lead is not the one who screams, but the one with an appetite for human flesh.I found this slickly produced hardcover in a bargain display at National Book Store on a trip out of sheer impulse. Relatively cheap hardcover graphic novels are a weakness of mine that easily pry from me a...
love this and the movie!!!
Jennifer’s Body is broken into four chapters, each tells a separate story (they are, however, told in chronological order) about the clueless guys who will soon become victims of Jennifer Check, a gorgeous and popular high school cheerleader who happens to be possessed by a demon hungry for the flesh of teenage boys. In addition to focusing on a different victim, each chapter of the graphic novel is illustrated and colored by different artists. The first chapter features artwork by Jim Mahfood w...
3.5 🌟
"You're killing people...Nooooo. I'm killing boys.Boys are just placeholders. They come and they go." 3 Stars ⭐⭐⭐I got this from a huge book fair from years back. Jennifer's body is one of my all-time favorite movies. You'll love this if you're a fan of the movie too.
Meh. A teenage girl in an American town is really a demon who kills teenage boys, it could have gone either way but it ended up not so great. Having read other reviews I now realise it is based on a movie. Never heard of it, but I suspect that accounts for a large portion of the vapidity of the story (is Vapidity a word? well, it ought to be). So, the story: It is pretty superficial, in each chapter we are introduced to another teen boy from the high school then in the last page, Jennifer kills
Honestly enjoyed the simplicity of it. The film is my all time favorite and this book may not be as good, but also not a dishonorable adaptation
Nice short graphic novel that complements the film really well-- it serves to flesh out the lives of Jennifer's victims. If you love the movie, you'll dig this :) and each of the chapters is drawn by a different artist, which is cool.
Este cómic me parece un gran acompañante de la película, me gusta que expande la historia de las 4 víctimas de Jennifer.creo que si te gusta mucho la película este cómic vale mucho la pena, si no eres fan a lo mejor este cómic no puede interesarte mucho.
Remind me to come back and edit this to add Colin’s emo-ass monologue about the gentrification of alternative culture because it was awesome lmao
1/5This was bad. Very bad. Whoever wrote this just ruined a great funny movie into this over-sexualised trash.
This was an interesting take on the Megan Fox-headlined film. As much as I enjoyed the film, I did find it to have quite a few gaps in terms of the characters Jennifer and Needy encountered, gaps that this graphic novel effectively bridged.Good points: the book's sections pretty much told the stories, as seen through the victims' eyes, in an engaging and effective way: I got to live their (tragically-ended) lives and actually managed to learn a lot about their backstories and how they factored i...
Depressing.
I adore Jennifer's Body, but this tie-in is not worth anyone's time. It basically gives backstories to all the boys that Jennifer kills in the movie, but can someone tell me why are we wasting time centering more men's POVs? 1. BOOOORING. 2. That is literally antithetical to the point of this movie. There are also some problematic parts. Do not recommend.
Jennifer's Body is one of my favorite movies of all time, I think it's witty and not too gory to recommend to some people, so when I saw this I didn't hesitate to order it. I didn't expect I'd be reading from the perspective of Jennifer Check's victims, sure, their POVs doesn't really add anything new to the story but if you're a fan of the movie it's a not so bad companion, I think it's nice. I also think some parts were very sexualize but maybe because we're reading from hormonal teenagers per...
A companion to the Twentieth Century Fox horror film, Jennifer’s Body is an ugly and vulgar graphic novel. The stories of four high school boys (one per issue) are told, each ending with their tragic encounters with the demon possessed Jennifer. None of these backstories really add anything to the film; if anything they make the characters more unlikable. And there’s no constancy to the artwork, as each story features different artists ranging from adequate to awful. Completely pointless, Jennif...
I impulsively bought this graphic novel on sale and I'm not disappointed with it. I'm an avid fan of the film and it's really great to have a token of it come to life. Jennifer Check is a great temptress. In four chapters, you could see how her victims are lured into her traps. The illustrations are really great although the dialogues are a bit trashy and the ending was a bit cliff-hanger. In general, it was very sexy and dark.
Non granché…
i’m just gonna act like this book doesn’t exist. the only jennifer’s body i know is the movie.
If this was a faithful adaptation of the film, I won't bother to watch it, even on cable.While the story reverses some of the cliches of the traditional slasher story, what bothered me was the innate lack of justice in the tale. Each of the male victims was lured to doom by the nature of their own aloneness, but only one did anything "wrong" to lead to this doom. The others were simply victimized by an unstoppable evil. What some creators have forgotten is that unstoppable evil that has no rules...
