Anita Blake The Laughing Corpse #1 - Comic Review - Shazap

Welcome back zappers, Im Devin Curry with http://Shazap.com. Your online video source for comic book news and reviews. Follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/devincurry.

The idea that this story is based on is solid and makes for an interesting world. Vampirism is legal and werewolves and all sorts of other supernatural creatures are living amongst us. Anita Blake is an Animator which means she can raise the dead. Apparently she makes a pretty good living at it and helps out the cops as a vampire hunter during her down time. So far this story is building a lot of mystery. It reads like one of those cop shows where we’ve got a crime scene, that is unbelievably gory and a little creepy, a job offer that Anita won’t take on moral issues and a bride’s maid’s dress. They have done a good job of creating curiosity and building a little suspense. The job that she was offered would require a human sacrifice to complete because the corpse is so old, and I want to know what is so important and to what lengths the man offering will go to get it done as Anita is the only Animator who is powerful enough to do it. The crime scene has got me, I want to know what creature committed the crime and where the kid is, but most of all I want to see how these stories will come together. Those of you into the horror genre of comics should enjoy this book and those of you like me who are not into it this is a good story and not too heavy in the genre. Distributed by Tubemogul.

I read the book, but i want it to be a movie. It's one of the best series i have ever come across.

[StrawBerryGoodness1]

You know, when i was first introduced to the Anita Blake series, i found the Laughing Corpse, i hadn't realized that it was a series book, and i started reading the begininning, and found it hella boring, i was sooo close to putting the book back, but i just said, that normally books get better in the middle, and it did, and i am just so fucking happy, i did not put that book down, then i went back to Guilty Pleasures.

Here's an idea: Read the actual book if you're curious.

The book is out and there will be NO tv series or movie it was started and then she changed her mind. She sent out a blog on her home page talking all about it. I LOVE THE BOOKS and the comic too. Especially First Death as it is only in comic book was never an actual book but it explains the before.
