So Anita Blake is a comic based on a series of novels.  I don't know about the novels but the comics have been decent.  I know those into the novels are really into them.  So if you're looking for something other than superheroes and want something similar to Buffy, but more "adult," check this out.

Arriving in stores this July, the hardcover from Marvel Comics and The Dabel Bros that you’ll want to sink your teeth into—Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Guilty Pleasures Vol.1 HC, featuring a brand new story by New York Times Bestseller Laurell K. Hamilton!

This special bonus tale marks Hamilton’s comic book debut, as she presents her first story ever written for the comic book medium. That’s right—a never before seen story starring Laurell K Hamilton’s famous vampire hunter, Anita Blake! With art by fan favorite Brett Booth, this hardcover collects the acclaimed and sold-out first six issues of Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Guilty Pleasures, which Newsarama.Com’s Lucas called a “new, unique mythos.” That acclaim is no surprise to fans, whose excitement for Guilty Pleasures led to the first six issues selling out and going back to print multiple times just to keep up with demand!

And in comic stories today, don’t miss Anita Blake Vampire Hunter: Guilty Pleasures Handbook, offering a rare glimpse into the world of Anita Blake, based on notes by Hamilton herself! New fans will thrill to the complexity of this layered, nuanced world, while longtime fans will gain additional insights into their favorite supernatural characters—along with art from fan favorite Anita penciller Brett Booth! Please note that this handbook contains some spoilers for the entire twelve-issue Guilty Pleasures series, so fans reading it will not only get a look at the past…but also at the exciting events to come!

Now’s your chance to catch up on the hit series that has critics and fans alike clamoring for more vampires, werewolves, romance and action in the way only Laurell K Hamilton and Anita Blake can deliver!
