True Blood

[hils]

On a slightly unrelated but similar note did anyone else know that the Anita Blake novels are being turned into comics? I saw a postcard advertising them in the comic shop. Guilty Pleasures is already out and The Laughing Corpse is coming soon. Anyone read them?

Anyway, the point of this post


Why hello Eric! *purrs*

This actually reminded me a lot of Guilty Pleasures, hence my earlier comments. Eric is definitely a bit like Jean-Claude.

I REALLY want to know what is going on with Sam! It's starting to get frustrating now. LOL! That bit at the end when he climbed into Dawn's bed to sniff the sheets was kind of disturbing

I LOVED the sub-plot with Jason and Tara though. Those two are too cute!

I've read them and the shorter 2 part the first kill with Edward. :D It's pretty good though, true to the novels and a good balance of how to tell a story in comics. the proportions on drawn anita kill me. They are just weird.


That bit with Sam also disturbed me and I KNOW what is going on with him. Though the show has been playing willy nilly with my book knowledge.

Yeah, the postcard I picked up had Anita on the front and she certainly has a lot more cleavage than I imagined. LOL!

I've read halfway though Guilty Pleasures (the series is complete). I just got the trade so I'm going to read that soon. Overall, I liked the tone of the comics. The art was a bit off at times, though not as over the top as some comics. The Laughing Corpse is being released. I'm not sure what issue they're one at the moment.

I have scans of them somewhere if you'd like a peak at the first issues.

OOH! I wouldn't mind. I just put the trade on my Amazon Wishlist

I'll have to dig a bit to find them. I'm not sure which disk they were on. I know I saved them, though.

Well, not to worry if you can't find it. The trade is only £8

Huh, it cost a small fortune out here. I think that's because the first run was one of those special hardback editions that I'm not fond of. lol

Even the hardcover is cheap over here.
