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...

And no ten pages of what she's fucking wearing because it's ON THE PAGE ALREADY?

*ROFL!* Maybe LKH should've gone the graphic novel route sooner. *lol* That is a great point. It's like, "Damn! I know your Nikes have the swoosh that matches the tank top you're wearing under your short-sleeved black rayon dress shirt." By it already being on the page that cuts out a 1/4 of the book. :)

I'm not too worried about the sex scenes for Guilty Pleasures because that book was tame by current AB standards.
