Another perspective on the comic...

[pandorasblog]

While delving through my comics/feminism RSS feeds, I ran across an article: Why The Anita Blake Comic Won't Succeed (And Trust Me, I Want To Be Wrong). It turns out to be less an article on the likelihood of that particular comic doing well, and more one on why the author doesn't seem to think that many women read comics at all (began commenting, then realised it was turning into an essay; life's too short, yadda yadda yadda). Nevertheless, I thought it was interesting to have a line on the comic from outside the immediate fandom, and this is a particularly ironic one since LKH seems to have added First Ever Bringer Of Comics To Wimminkind to her list of imagined accomplishments...

*sighs* One reason why I think the comic won't sell well is because the art is terrible. I've seen comics with good stories go down the drain because the art team was crap. There are plenty of women that read comics. I've been reading them since I was a little girl.

*LOL* Someone just needs to make her a certificate listing all of these things she's a so called pioneer in because that list is just getting longer and longer.
