Dark Horse Comics has announced a new sequel series to Jenny Zero titled Jenny Zero: Homeland Insecurities. Based on the series that launched in April 2021, writers Dave Dwonch and Brockton McKinney return with artist Margenta King for the follow-up series along with new colorist Arnaldo Robles. The four-issue series kicks off in comic book shops on May 11, 2022.
To learn more about the series, check out our interview with Dwonch and McKinney on the first series here.
“For volume two, Dwonch, Magenta, and myself, cracked open the notebooks (plus several six-packs) and set out to make this the most heartfelt and outrageous chapter of our drunken hero’s life yet,” says co-writer Brockton McKinney.
“It’s Jenny and crew blasting through Japan, dealing with Machiavellian supervillains, tear-jerking reunions, telekinetic inanimate evil, shocking hook-ups, super powered designer drugs, and the most insane giant-creature battles this side of Toho’s Big Five. We also enlisted über-talented colorist Arnoldo Robles, who really turned the series’ knobs up to eleven. We can’t thank Dark Horse and the #TeamZero fans enough for giving us the chance to continue Jenny’s epic (and inebriated) tale.”
