In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a bit of a geek, so I totally love the idea of a True Blood comic book series and I really rate the art on this cover and the one we’ve already seen. USA Today has an article on the series and talks to the writers and artists about the project. Interestingly, one of the writers on the show, Elizabeth Finch, also contributed to the comics, which will cover new storylines outside the events of the show and the novels. The first issue includes four alternate covers and a story line that traps the cast with an unnamed beast in Merlotte’s Bar. Cool.
“True Blood is the antithesis of Twilight,” says writer David Tischman. “Vampires come out of 19th-century repression, and here, all that sex is on the surface. Like the humidity of Louisiana, it’s there all the time.”
Writer Kate Barnow says the comic “gives fans a chance to hang out with characters in their natural setting in a way the pace of the show doesn’t allow.”

My curiosity has been stroked. I’ve read some bashing of Sookie’s image on other sites, but I think the artist is doing an amazing job with these covers. I like how he said “He’s worked hard at catching the nuances of Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer.” You’ve done a great job David.
I don’t normally read comics, but I want all 4 covers. I love the art!
Wait, is that Val Kilmer playing Bill?
Don’t say that, Liv. I’m not a Val Kilmer fan. :(
Sorry, but look at that drawing! It’s VK!
I want all 4 covers as well to add to my collection!
Funny Liv!
