Anita Blake - Comic Novel?

For the most part, I enjoyed reading the Vampire Hunter. It wasn't as sappy as Twilight and had a sort of twistedness to it that made me wonder and want to continue to keep reading. The fact that it was originally a novel transformed into a comic book has many pros and cons to it. At first I was excited about the pictures and scenes that were displayed but after only a few pages I was losing interest in the illustrations. They were great illustrations and gave me a visual as to what I was reading about it, but I felt that I completely different idea of Anita in my head. They portray her to be somewhat weak and harmless looking when it is obvious she is far from that. Another problem I had with the comic book layout was that is was hard to follow the text. Being that it was originally a novel, the text bubbles over the characters heads often times had a lot of writing in them. Every now and then I would catch myself reading the bubbles in the wrong order which definitely lead me to be confused about the story at a few parts. Other than these problems I actually did enjoy the comics. I get very sidetracked when I am reading for extended periods of time, but while reading this book to control my attention deficit I just glanced at the illustrations for a few minutes and til I found myself ready to keep reading again. Altogether I thought it was a good novel, but would have been better if it were to remain as just that, a novel. Trying to change it into a comic book, especially with scewed images that don't accurately depict there character is a creative idea that just didn't work out for the best.
