Awwww, you got me excited. I thought they were going to make a movie out of it - or a series on sci-fi. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I'd rather read the books than comics.

Bella_Harmony my friend, you never know. As it is right now, Hollywood is always looking for popular comic books to adapt into movies. It is much easier to adapt a comic book into a movie than it is to adapt a novel into a movie. Hopefully we'll get enough fans like yourself supporting the comic book so that Hollywood does notice <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I'll post up some sneek peeks as soon as I get more art from the artist <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I had the same thought you did Michelle. I haven't read the novels, but they seem to be something I would really enjoy. I have a huge stack of other books to read already (plus a list of I-wanna-gets) <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'm not really a comic book person either, but if something catches my attention I'll read it.

And as an aside, I don't know why I'm not finding posts until a few days later. I usually check everyday and this is the first I've seen this thread <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Laura my friend, this adaptation will be fantastic! I'll make sure to post a few goodies for you as soon as I get them from the artist. So please stay tuned <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Here is the artist assigned to the Anita Blake project, enjoy <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I love LK Hamilton--her next book, Danse Macabre, is due out this June BTW. "Adaptations" always bug me as they so rarely run true to the actual text, but I'll reserve comment until I see it.

Oh, anybody read "Micah"? Thoughts?

The stores have just started taking orders for Anita Blake Issue #1. You can find your closest comic book store here: http://csls.diamondcomics.com/
You will need to fill this form out and turn it in to the comic book store: http://www.roaringstudios.com/anita_blake/anita_order_form2.jpg

Sherylinn Kenyon (Sp?) has also signed a deal to turn her Dark Hunter series into a comic.

I think this like with Blake, bring more fans into the series with a comic adpatation.

Do you have a link to this news, Dwight my friend. If you can post it here for me, I will really appreciate it. Thanks <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
