Review: Blood & Dust: The Life & Undeath of Judd Glenny #3
Ruth Glenny has been chained up in the attic for years after the last killing spree she went on when free. But now with their Grandpa and brother trapped by the thing in the swamp, Zeke and Baby Hazel have no choice but to unleash their mother and hope that she’ll stay sane long enough to save their family.
There seems to be a clear difference between Ruth, and his daughter in Blood & Dust: The Life & Undeath of Judd Glenny #3. Ruth seems to more control of his violent nature, unlike his daughter who doesn’t. That makes this issue a little different than the previous two and shows writers Michael R. Martin and Adam Orodorf can shake things up and keep writers on our toes. I’m curious to see how Ruth stops his own daughter, now that her monstrous half is in control.
The obvious artistic change by Roy Allan Martinez is Ruth’s daughter. Changing in an almost Jekyll and Hyde manner, from a prisoner to a monster. Outside of that, the art is superb. Especially, as the issue ends in flames as things go from bad to worse.

40 years ago the first American vampire became the unlikely savior to the children of Boggy Depot and forged an unlikely agreement with the town. They leave him and his family alone, and he’ll save any children from whatever lives in the swamp. But now Judd needs saving, and his grandkids only hope is their mother. Only problem is she’s more dangerous than the swamp.
Judd Glenny is the first American vampire, once he terrorized the West as its most fearsome predator, but for more than 40 years now he’s spent his days in peace, reduced to little more than babysitter for his own vampire offspring. But when the evil that lives in the swamp surrounding the small backwater town he calls home gets ahold of one of Judd’s great grand-kids, everything changes.
