Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter in Guilty Pleasures #2 has sold out at Diamond and Marvel and the Dabel Brothers are rushing back to press for a second printing with an all-new second printing variant cover by Brett Booth. A series of novels by New York Times Best-Selling Author Laurell K. Hamilton having sold over 3 million copies, Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter in Guilty Pleasures is the story of the popular vampire hunter Anita and her adventure from the first of her 14 novels.

The sold out first printing of Anita Blake #1 was listed in Comic Buyer's Guide as #7 in their "Dozens to Dig For" and the second issue is proving to be even more sought after than the first.

Michael Bailey of SilverBulletComicBooks.com calls Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter in Guilty Pleasures #1 "a solid read" and said "Stacie Ritchie has taken the prose of Laurell K. Hamilton and translated it to near perfection on the comic book page."

Lucas Siegel of Newsarama said the first issue was "an intriguing book" and said "I'm definitely on for the entire first series based solely on the strength of the first issue."

Anita Blake has made its stake in the world of comics so see for yourself what some are calling the best new series of 2006.
