The latest "head-turning" story arc of the True Blood comic series starts here!

I wasn’t sure what I expected from this comic. I’ve read all the books and watched one season of the TV show, but I didn’t stick to it because it messed with my beloved characters too much (yes, that makes me a book snob <G>). The comic is based on the TV show, so all our favorite characters are there, but the comic has its own original storyline. Once again messing with what ain’t broken in my opinion ;)

The art work is colorful and expressive, but the characters are kind of…ugly <G>. I don’t know why the artist didn’t just make the characters look like the TV actors, since it is based on them. They are kind of a modified version for some reason. The story was okay, but I don’t think this will make my list of must-reads.
