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...

I don't think it'd happen, because it's not an original Marvel fandom like, say, X-Men. They wouldn't have the creative control to be able to do that; I can't imagine LKH having allowed the comic to be produced unless there was little to no leeway for anyone to change anything.

Though... in a way, the novel canon is now its own alternate universe...
