I’m not sure how much I would have enjoyed this if it wasn’t for nostalgia and an already-firm understanding of the plot and characters from reading the source material. This volume covers a lot very quickly. But it’s still a gorgeous adaptation, with art bursting with fan service and snarky one liners. I guess it’s a (oh god, I’m really about to say this) guilty pleasure. ( )

Awesome artwork. Lacking continuity though. Noticed some mistakes. ( )

Love this early Anita. The drawing's couldn't be better thanks to Brett Booth ! ( )

This is the graphic novel of the first half of [b:Guilty Pleasures|30281|Guilty Pleasures (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #1)|Laurell K. Hamilton|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266454864s/30281.jpg|3349934] (Anita Blake, #1). I enjoyed this way more the than the prequel, [b:Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: The First Death|1799011|Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter The First Death |Laurell K. Hamilton|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266898230s/1799011.jpg|1798133]. The illustrations are better and the story follows the book exactly. There were a couple of points when I thought something had been missed out but I was OK with that because I could remember them from when I'd read the novel. All of the important and best bits are in this and that's what matters.

Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised that this was witty and smooth and told the story of the book really well. I've all ready reserved volume 2 at my library and I can't wait to read it. ( )

These comics reminded me why I loved her earlier books so much! ( )
