Chris over at the Invincible Super-Blog has the annotated version of the newest AB:VH comic up.   Yet again, absolutely nothing happens.

If the first comment, supposedly by Richelle Mead, is legit, I'm a bit amused... mostly because most authors in the "paranormal romance" circuit don't seem to have the guts to say anything about LKH.

Is Richelle Mead any good?

I don't know what her adult series are like; I've only read her YA series, Vampire Academy. It's not earth-shaking, but it's better than a lot of the supernatural YA out there.

I've read one of her succubus books... it's a good UF/PR read. ^__^

I have enjoyed the Succubus books too - they are a bit different from the normal vampire/were stuff.

And it's that difference/ originality of the types of supernatural presented there that makes me want to read more of them. I remember I rather liked the first book (thought it was good but not earth shattering good) and I keep going back to that series because it is different and I like it more and more. Although the main love intrest annoys me now but still.. a good read, decent plots, flawed interesting characters.

The YA series on the other hand is not my cup of tea. All the main characters annoy me there. :(

I don't expect earth-shaking in a YA series. (This thought made me laugh out loud.)

Just wondering, partially to look for decent authors, but partially because if she was crummy, her criticism would be extra amusing.

Her succubus books are not great, but not awful either. They are worth reading. Her succubus character actually feels bad about sucking the life out of good guys. She tends to go after the bad guys and gets in trouble with her bosses. There's angels, demons, imps, vampires and nephilim in her books. Pretty interesting stuff.

Yeah, if it really is Richelle, I'll be happy.

Also... my gods, the HAIR. What?

[easol.livejournal.com]

If this were by anyone but LKH, that just-over-the-ear hair part would make me suspect that vampires DO get male pattern baldness.

I love Chris, really I do.

I especially love how he notes how JC is not exactly the most imposing figure -- yeah, he may have vampirey strength, which clearly isn't that impressive because Anita is considered a viable threat. But if you took someone wearing leather skintight pants and boots and a floofy poet's shirt as your bodyguard into a hardcore redlight district, you'd have to be prepared for a bunch of dudes offering him fifty dollars to come back to their motel room.

I would *love* to see this. I might even *buy* a LKH book if this sort of indignity were properly heaped on the characters.

[quizzicalsphinx.livejournal.com]

. . . and?

No, seriously. That was all? That was like, three paragraphs of narrative, max.

[easol.livejournal.com]

... and a good portion of it was talking with a dude we'll probably never see again and who has nada to do with the plot (if I recall correctly).

It gave me a laugh on a night when I needed on badly. Thanks for posting the link.

Just how narcistic is LKH that she cares more about Anita's monologes than letting the pics speak for themselves?

[easol.livejournal.com]

But she has to show how tuff and witty Anita is! I mean, how cool is Anita? How dare they want to cut out some of her precious jewel-like words of tuffness!

[yaoihuntresse.livejournal.com]

Too bad she doesn't back it up: thinking a penguin bath is more interesting than taking down a zombie, getting a chaperone for her trip to the red light district and waiting for an appointment when a real badass would either muscle their way through, sneak in or use their charm\force of personality to do it.

I sincerely hope he'll start doing these for the Twilight graphic novel that's coming out: http://shelf-life.ew.com/2009/07/15/twilight-comic-book-manga/

Oh boy, Meyer is intricately involved in reviewing it? Joy of joys!
