"The First Death": now in the money-wasting hardcover edition!
As if it weren't bad enough that LKH and Co. spread this story out over two comics when, with her overuse of narration, it barely needed one, now it's compiled in a hardcover. Yes, just like issues 1-6 of Guilty Pleasures, except at least with that collection, you got six comics, not two comics and a "character handbook".
(I think LKH is the one who needs the character handbook, not the readers, but hey, that's another post entirely.)
Anyway, for those interested in inflicted the pain upon yourselves or loved ones, enjoy. Because, in the grand tradition money-draining comic editions, there's not only the main cover (note the compensating-for-something size of her name on the cover) but also the obligatory variant cover.
I seriously wonder who's buying these anymore. Granted, I haven't done extensive comic shop research, but at the comic stores I go to, the Anita books are not flying off the shelves by any stretch of the imagination.

In the original cover, Anita and the guy both have anime blue hair. This is not a look that Anita can carry off. Look at what TV Tropes has to say about blue hair on a woman (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HairColors):
Blue hair on a woman tends to indicate shyness or introversion, a correspondence which seems to have originated with Ami "Sailor Mercury" Mizuno from Sailor Moon. It also seems to connote extraordinary intelligence in both genders -- Ami Mizuno, again, but also Miki Kaoru from Revolutionary Girl Utena and Touma Hashiba from Yoroiden Samurai Troopers.
Intelligence? Shyness? ANITA?!
Does. Not. Compute.
