I have never really gotten into comics throughout any part of my life, or vampire readings for that matter. However, I have taken interest in this Anita Blake series. I am glad we have decided to read this series as a comic book, versus reading it as a novel.
With many comic books, it is common to lose track of where you are supposed to go on the page (right to left, top to bottom, etc.). I believe the illustrations actually aid in the flow of the book, where I know some people have found them distracting. I have noticed there seems to be a color theme throughout each set of pages. With each scene, the color theme is nearly identical. If the colors were juggled around, and scattered throughout the page I believe it would in fact be very distracting. They do a good job of bringing the vampires to the forefront of the page, and really get my attention and drag me into the story.
I realize the identical color in the pages, too. It is interesting that the colors follow theme, even though the back ground color is similar. I did not find the purpose of this.
