2 out of 5 starsGreat artwork - no story
The artwork is beautiful, but I was expecting to get some insight into a younger Anita. Nothing new here. Buy it for the art if you are interested in that sort of thing, but not the story.



4 out of 5 starsA Vampire Story
Minor quibble. Not a fan of graphic novel style books. Still, it is nice to have a new Anita Blake story to fill in the history of this story line.



3 out of 5 starsexecutioner prequel
A comic book rendition of an earlier Anita Blake than currently found in the series. The inker/artist's view may not match what a reader of the series pictures the characters as appearing, as Anita's skin is not as white as her Aryan father. Priced in comparison with graphic novels, but pricey for the amount of story in comparison to one of the novels. I won't be trying the graphic/comic versions of the novels, just the ones that "fill out" the series.



4 out of 5 starsLKH Comic
Well, being a Laurell fan, I had to give this a try, even though I don't read graphic novels, or whatever this is called. But, I had to read a new Anita story! This one is excellent, since it takes place in the past, before Anita became sooooooooo annoying. The artwork is good, not as gory as I thought it would be. I'll keep this one on my shelf.



4 out of 5 starsGreat fun!
As a fan of the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series, I bought this book because it promised to show the first meeting of Anita and Jean-Claude. I'm happy to say that it did as promised - showed the introduction of the two characters. In addition, we get a little more insight into how Anita's relationship developed with Edward and how she got one of her scars. I'm thrilled with the graphic novelization of Anita Blake and I'll continue to buy more.
