MINISERIES PREMIERE

There’s a contract out on Gehenna. But she’s managed to stay alive long enough that the contract has been resold several times as consolidated debt between criminal organizations. Now she intends to put a stop to the chain of custody on that contract. With a bullet.Series creators PATRICK KINDLON (FRONTIERSMAN) and MARCO FERRARI (SCARLETT) and artist MAURIZIO ROSENZWEIG (Dylan Dog), bring you nonstop action inspired by Gun Honey and Elektra: Assassin.

Score:
 ★★★★ (4/5)

QUICK REVIEW: Gehenna: Naked Aggression #1 is a relentless, action-packed debut from Image Comics that puts visuals first and story second. Imagine if Russ Meyer made an ultraviolent revenge tale—only the assassin is a leather-clad femme fatale dragging along a kidnapped kid while mowing down bodyguards.

Maurizio Rosenzweig’s art is a standout, capturing tight, brutal choreography with cinematic flair. Writer Patrick Kindlon uses minimal dialogue and sharp pacing to keep the bullets flying and emotions simmering. Flashbacks add depth to Gehenna’s vengeful mission, while the grindhouse tone—complete with over-the-top violence and revealing outfits—pays homage to classic exploitation films.

It’s bold, bloody, and not for everyone, but Gehenna: Naked Aggression thrives on its visual storytelling and unapologetic attitude. Don’t skip Kindlon’s afterword—it adds welcome context to the chaos.
