ComicVine News

I like the Anita Blake comics.   I've never read the books.  I know some people are really into them.  I have to assume they're good since the comics that are adapted from them are enjoyable.  I was worried that they wouldn't continue at Marvel and the publisher (Dabel Brothers) ended their relationship.  But it seems that Anita Blake will continue.  Hurray.   I do wonder why First Death #2 has been delayed.  I've enjoyed Brett Booth's art.  The art in First Death was...okay.  With this announcement we have more good news.  Ron Lim will be doing the art!  Ron Lim is amazing.  His work on Silver Surfer, Infinity Gauntlet, or even X-Men 2099 is worth checking out. 

Marvel is pleased to announce that fan favorite artist Ron Lim will be joining Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Guilty Pleasures as the series’ new artist with issue #8. The critically-acclaimed, top-selling series returns with Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Guilty Pleasures #7 (of 12), continuing the stunning adaptation of New York Times Best-Selling author Laurell K Hamilton’s popular novel. Lim will also provide a special, unannounced Zombie variant cover to Laurell K Hamilton’s Anita Blake: First Death #2 (of 2), featuring Anita versus…well, you’ll just have to find out!

“We’re excited for fans to see the nuances of Laurell’s exciting world brought to life by Ron Lim,” said Marvel President & Publisher Dan Buckley. “We’ve enjoyed working with Brett Booth and wish him the best in his future endeavors. Just as Brett brought his own unique energy to this series, Ron will leave his own indelible mark on the series that continues to bring lots of new fans into comic stores. We’re just as excited as all the readers to experience more exciting stories of everyone’s favorite Vampire Hunter!”

And don’t miss the new printings of the sold-out Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Guilty Pleasures Vol.1, now with two gorgeous variant covers and only available at your local comic shop! Plus, the conclusion of Laurell K Hamilton’s all new Anita Blake story arrives this November in Laurell K Hamilton’s Anita Blake: First Death #2 (of 2), concluding this special look into Anita’s past!
