Excuse me...

...while I laugh my ass off. Behold! The Anita Blake comic book, coming soon:


Apparently Laurell K. Hamilton really likes this artwork. Not that that's much of a shocker- Anita, as anyone who's seen a publicity photo of Hamilton knows, is Hamilton's alter-ego. And it does not comes as a surprise that Laurell K. Hamilton's vision of herself- as a fiery, dark-haired, ass-kicking and name-taking hellcat, tinged with just a wee hint of wistful femininity- is exactly the kind of thing that translates beautifully into cheeseball comic book artwork.

Aww, crap. Some of the original art I saw for the comic looked promising. Now it just looks tacky (like the current books)

"Tacky" does not even begin to cover it, my friend. The Anita Blake books are like an X-rated video game. Y'know- instead of fighting her way through the level, she sexes her way through it. Then there's the magical mumbo-jumbo bit at the end, and she powers up a level, full of health points and ready to sex her way forward!

...just had to get that off my chest. END THIS SERIES NOW!
