True Blood: The comics
Being new to the colourful world of comic books, I do not set down a dedicated day or hour to go visit my local store, nor do I have an account with said shop but I am learning.
There are a few titles which I devote my cash bucks to. Some purchases are made out of pure whim but we'll discuss that later. Today I FINALLY picked up the two comics that cry to my very obsession.
True Blood Issue #1 and #2
For those of you that don't know, The HBO show True Blood is my obsession. As soon as I discovered it, I practically disowned the soppy, teenage angst of Twilight and immersed myself into the gritty, snarling world of Bon Temps, LA.
Officially unveiled at the San Diego Comic-Con this past July, (and sold out when I got there!)True Blood #1
was released with FOUR different covers.....now that really grinds my gears BUT I chose cover D to the left.
Published by IDW (Star Trek, 30 Days of Night), and sold at $3.99, the comic is vibrant, detailed, and sturdy, helping me get over my fear of creasing and bending pages, which I learned was a bad thing in the world of comic connoisseurs. (That and pretending to lick the pages just to frustrate the hardcores.)
In issue 1 and 2 we encounter another supernatural villain, as if Vampires, Shape shifters, Werewolves and Were-panthers weren't enough!
I won't reveal anymore in case there are those of you that would like to experience it with fresh pair of eyes, but just know that you can expect the same gore, witty dialogue, and sultry behavior. However, Sookie's boobs seem to have gone on vacation and come back a few sizes bigger.....not that i'm complaining!
The first issue comes with a pull out poster drawn by David Messina. The artwork was also printed on a t-shirt and was a SDCC exclusive!
Look out for Issue #3 this September!
