"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.

Her waist is non existent on the second cover. Someone apparently didn't pay attention in art class the day they were covering proper anatomy proportion....

Silly, she has to hold up her bosoms.

Actually, I think it's her method of rendering a "polo shirt" a bit sexy and body revealing, since those things actually hang like sacks.

And I wonder why Anita is always holding that pose with one arm across her stomach.

Reaching for her gun? Only logical explanation I can think of.

It's to emphasize her big bosoms. Otherwise we might not notice them.

Although some body language experts would probably go to town on that.
