I guess it goes without saying that I am not much for the romance stuff. I like me some girly movies, but as far as the whole "tortured existence of a vampire as a metaphor for loneliness" and so-forth... ye-ah, not so much.Further, I am not exactly against artists/writers from another medium making the move to comics anymore than I am against comics creators working in other mediums, but I do feel a tinge of jealousy or anger or whatever it is when they do it with their name splashed across the cover in letters twice as big as the title itself. But Laurell K. Hamilton does have an audience, as does her character, Anita Blake, so I guess it only makes sense. And her series have been doing bang-up business, so it's obviously working. And seeing this preview art, I see why!
This is an official Marvel press release:
From the pages of New York Times best-selling author Laurell K Hamilton's acclaimed novels comes Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Guilty Pleasures #8 (of 12)! As her first visit to a freak party takes a deadly turn, Anita must fight her life while searching for the truth about the mysterious serial killer she's been trailing. But when the latest victim is discovered, things become personal for everyone's favorite Vampire Hunter! This issue also marks fan-favorite Ron Lim's debut as series artist, with covers from both Lim and Brett Booth!
Critics and fans alike continue to praise Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Guilty Pleasures, with ComicsBulletin.Com's Shawn Hill declaring, "the title has been an unqualified success."
"Look out, Buffy! Anita Blake is coming to take your slaying crown," gushed Richard George of IGN.Com.
But when two new suspects appear on the scene, where does Anita's investigation go from here? No Anita Blake fan can afford to miss this issue as Anita's investigation takes a shocking turn in Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Guilty Pleasures #8 (of 12)!
Plus, don't miss the new printings of the top-selling Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Guilty Pleasures Vol.1 HC and the upcoming Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: The First Death HC, collecting a brand new story by Laurell K Hamilton herself!
