My Guilty Pleasure!

Anita Blake is a Necromancer, Vampire Slayer, Federal Marshal and much more. Laurell K. Hamilton’s novels based around Anita Blake’s world have become best sellers in Canada and the States. It has been a long time since I have looked into the Vampire Hunter’s world, but I was preoccupied with Laurell’s novels about Merry Gentry.

Recently I finished the Merry Gentry series and had no where to go while waiting for the next novel to be released so I decided to jump back into Anita’s world and what do I find? Graphic Novels, a comic book collection of Guilty Pleasures the first Anita Blake novel in the series. Instead of finishing Guilty Pleasures the novel I had in my office I decided to pick up the collection of Guilty Pleasures comic books. I finished Volume one that day and had to start the next volume on the ride to see my family. Thankfully my boyfriend always drives.

I fell in love with the artwork and how they portrayed the characters, it was perfect and extremely true to the novel that I remember. I am only sad the The Laughing Corpse isn’t at my local comic book shop and I can’t wait for it to be published into volumes and to purchase it for my reading pleasure.

While in the comic book shop I also noticed some Anita Blake comics that were not part of the original novel series. It was a prequel, Edward, the first encounter with Jean Claude and a closer look at the character we all know and love. I will be picking this up on my next trip to the local comic book shop and will be waiting to see the wonderful Micah and many other lovely men in comic book form in the future. Keep on writing Laurell, you are an inspiration to us all.
