Plot Summary: Ginger Lewis’ mother has passed away after a long illness. When Ginger was only a baby, she and her mother were abandoned by her father, a low-life thug called Dennis Russell. Russell is now a successful crime lord and he is married again, but he never helped his former family. And Ginger blames him for her mom’s death. Dennis Russell is going to discover that nothing is more dangerous than the rage of a teenage girl.

Review: At 46 pages, Victor Santos’ Ginger’s Revenge just flat out moves. The inciting incident is front loaded into the first couple of pages and by page 3 Ginger is at a strip club with a broken bottle in hand fighting motherfuckers left and right like a revenge fueled demon. This energy never lets up in its full on sprint to the end.

In addition to the central revenge plot we also get more of this world, its characters, and their relationships/connections fleshed out. The ending of the story even winds up in surprising territory as it confronts generational trauma and violence head on. The final page is a single page epilogue that wraps the whole thing up with a nice satisfying bow on top.

Ginger’s Revenge is a blast and Victor Santos is one of the best in crime comics
