lkh_lashoutsThose of you that dabble in comics fandom may already be aware of Chris's Invincible Super-Blog, which offers up tastily scathing reviews, commentary, and tons of the best kind of old skool crack.
Anyway. Chris has been hilariously dissecting each issue of the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter comic series for the past few months, and it's the best kind of literary flogging.
He started out promisingly with his review of #3 (linked below):
"Yes, Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #3 hit stands yesterday, and so tonight, I'm devoting the ISB to an exhaustive, scurrilous set of notes on what may actually be the most awesomely terrible comic being put out by a major publisher today.
Grab your own copy and read along!"
Anyway. Since #6 hit the stands last week, I give you The Annotated Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #6.
The best part? Is that the creative team on the comic got linked to his entries/reviews/flogging, and apparently wrote him about his reviews. To which Chris responded:
"So! Now that I've built up a small amount of goodwill from the people who make this thing, I think it's time to completely blow it with another round of comprehensive notes on the subtle nuances and were-rat Daisy Dukes of everyone's fourth-favorite vampire hunter, now featuring even more guys in mesh tank tops than anyone could have possibly predicted."
There's bonus snark in every review about Anita's poor taste in armaments, as Chris makes her go toe-to-toe with the Punisher Armoury.
Here are all the reviews, in descending order, from #6 to #1. Seriously, I sprained a rib (and an ovary) laughing.
Enjoy!

Re: *recognizes and bows down*
Date: 2007-05-02 01:57 am (UTC)I know!
But I did.
*cackle*
Oh, dear. I just...no matter how hard I try, no matter how much someone jumps up and down and says "BUT YOU'LL LOVE FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST," I just crack open a volume of manga and my eyes glaze over.
Dazzler rocks. I love my mutants madly, but my supreme love in all of comics fandom, topping even my love for Green Arrow, Hal Jordan, Matt Murdock, Elektra, Black Bolt, Medusa, and Jean Grey is...HENRY P. MCCOY.
Back off, girls. He's MINE.
I think we clearly need to friend each other, stop with the public foreplay on a comm dedicated to lashing out at LKH, and just get to SERIOUS COMIC BIZNESS.

Date: 2007-05-02 04:17 am (UTC)BEAST IS LOVE LIKE WOAH!
I <3 my Hank/Bobby OTP, even though I stopped reading X-men YEARS ago.
Re: *recognizes and bows down*
Date: 2007-05-02 04:23 am (UTC)Ahem.
Re: *recognizes and bows down*
Date: 2007-05-02 03:31 pm (UTC)Seriously. If I ever met Hank, I'd ask him to sign my bra and immediately proprose marriage. I LOVE him so damn much. I've never met anyone that hates Hank as a character, ever.

Date: 2007-05-02 06:35 pm (UTC)Duuuuude, you're preaching to the choir here. I'd do the exact same thing, no matter what form he's in. ^_^
