"The First Death": now in the money-wasting hardcover edition!

[pith]

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.

Ah yes, the most worthless comic prequel EVAH. Seriously, it's just another chance for Whorenita to play a tough-as-nails damsel-in-distress, and have all the men fawn over her awesomeness. Even more hilarious, Dolph and Zerbrowski are mislabelled -- priceless.

And, of course, it's there for for LKH to ramble on forever about stuff we don't care about, only to realize ten pages from the end that whoops, she hardly has any space left for her Big Kickass Climax. (Which is also tight and wet and rainmaking... whoops, wrong type of climax)

Either way, I am slavering for this hardcover edition to come out... because amazon doesn't let me write scathing, low-on-the-pH-scale reviews of books that haven't been released yet.
