He reads it so we don't have to

Via yhlee: Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter is now a comic, and Chris over at his Invincible Super-Blog reads it so we don't have to.

I bought my mother in law a limited ed. print of Jean-Claude doing his sexy vampire thing because she's the one who introduced me to the series. But that's as close as I'm getting to that raunchy sinker.

Who thought it was a good idea to make this comic?! I'm sure fans have been keeping up to date with the atrocity that the novels have become.

Sheesh...

I have no idea. I got about halfway through the 3rd book and realized I had no idea what was going on and didn't care, so put it down and never looked back. Which meant I was a bit surprised by eeryone complaining about all the sex in the series, since I hadn't read far enough to get to the books where she shoehorned it all in. XD

I kept reading in some desperate hope that the series would return to the chemistry of the first book. It never happened.

It's on 3rd issue. I'm not too impressed yet.

Lots of text. Art, for the most part is androgynous men and femmes fatale.

And the were-rats look like rabid otters.

Looking at the art in the scans he posted, it seems just like the same art that most of the mainstream comics industry has been producing for the past ten years, which I don't much like.

Dude, scary anatomy there. *Shudder* I read ABVH long ago when it was good--it was fun at the time. This is just sporkariffic.

Hysterical. I particularly like the MAJOR PLOT TWIST where the supervillain vampire is actually a little girl! Who could have seen that coming?! ...Well, anyone who's ever read a single vampire book, really.

The first review, featuring Anita vs. Batman, is definitely my favorite.

Sorta-related, someone else on my flist today posted about her blog (http://blog.laurellkhamilton.org/2006/12/dear-negative-reader.html) where she had a nice little rant at negative readers.
