Fans of the novels (which are better) won't find much of anything new in this prequel to the Anita Blake series. Anita comes across as pretty green compared to book one but I suppose this is supposed to be her before she became really tough so she seems weaker on the page when it comes to willpower. Additionally, she gets rescued a great deal more rather than getting out of the problem through her own abilities. While Hamilton is listed as one of the authors I strongly suspect she made a cursory glance and let the other author go with it. On a brighter note I think this was more intended for new readers who will hopefully pick up the novels. Let me say those are a lot better.

I forgot how much of a badass Anita and Edward are together. *swoon*

This was my first Anita Blake story. I really liked it and thought the story was entertaining. The artwork was good; my favorite aspects of the artwork were Anita (shes so pretty!) and the gore/violence (I liked how they handled her cutting off a head, for example.) Anyway, I'm in love with her character now and I'm definitely going to check out the other books.

Meh? I don't know I grabbed the trade with the interesting cover at the library on impulse. It was only after getting home I realized this was one of the Hamilton stories (between her and Evanovich's Plum books no wonder Goodreads thinks I read Romance books lol).
Anyway, the story was fine if a bit clunky like this was the first story Hamilton had written and not something written later as backstory. The art needed help - but was definitely Marvel from the 1990s style.
The last half of the trade was some Characters of the Anita Blake Universe or monster manual listing of characters, monsters and things in Anita's room wall of text. I quickly lost interest as I would rather have the story tell me who these folks and things.

The never before told story of how Anita got her scars and cross shaped brand, as well as how she first met Jean-Claude while researching a vampire murderer who's targeting adolescent boys.
Interesting for old fans as well as those who are interested in an introduction to Anita Blake's world of zombie raising and vampire slaying.
As a fan of the French vampire, it was interesting to see that he instantly took a liking to Anita.
Good story, and the handbook at the back is a helpful way of keeping track of all the characters who make an appearance in Guilty Pleasures.

Ne privlači me uzeti knjige o Aniti Blake jer sam prije dosta godina čitala Hamiltonicin serijal o princezi Meredith Gentry, i već nakon treće knjige me počelo sve skupa smarati, ponavljanja, beskrajne scene seksa koje sam u nekom trenu počela i preskakati... zato ni neću uzeti Anitu Blake.
Ali, stripa sam se ipak prihvatila jer je to sasvim drukčiji medij i priča se u stripu sasvim drukčije doživi. I to mi je bilo čist ok. Likovi su mi se svidjeli, nema okolišanja od petnaest strana, već je napisano i nacrtano samo ono bitno.
Uzimam i nastavke u stripu.

4.5 stars ~ If you ever wanted to know about the first time Anita worked on a serial case with RPIT & how she starts teaming up with Edward READ THIS!
March 9, 2010
My first one-star rating of the year, sigh. Though I was very tempted to give Flirt the same treatment, it got off with 2 stars.
The is the first graphic novel I've ever read and boy was it bad. This is supposed to be a prequel to Guilty Pleasures. It includes Anita and JC's first meeting which DOES NOT match the story given in the series. JC says that he fell in love with Anita at first sound, saw her gun and knew she could defend herself and wouldn't wait around to be rescued - only the meeting in The First Death doesn't live up to this description. She doesn't burst in guns blazing, she's actually quite timid for her. She also hunts with Edward for the first time though this is not their first meeting. This is when Anita is given the cross burn by human servants and Manny is retired by his wife after being tortured.
The First Death is not a work of art lovingly created. There is nothing new here, just a story cobbled together from the bits and pieces the author managed to remember.
However, the story is only half of the book. The second half is The Guilty Pleasures Handbook, basically a character and species index. I haven't read it, I just looked at the pictures, which brings me to the character representations. Poor JC, he doesn't look right. In a few of the illustrations he's like an Anita double just taller. He's too feminine, I imagined his hair to have a little less curl than Anita's and a little shorter because he doesn't start growing it out until he realises Anita likes long hair. There are two representations of Bert, one in the story and the other in the Handbook - the story one is better, the Handbook one makes him look ancient but very well dressed - mutton dressed as lamb. Other characters also seemed flawed in appearance like Nikolaos, she appears older than the child she's meant to be.
Overall, this is not a good book. Be smart, do not waste money on this. If you have to read it, borrow it, it will save you the hassle of trying to get rid of the thing on eBay.

If you're going to invest in the comic books, which exceed this book in retail cost, don't bother getting this unless you simply want it for the companion info this book comes with, which I think is well done and helps a person pick up on everything if they're not already a fan of the series and author.
Not thinking anything of it initially, and in the long haul spending less between the comic book purchases on Ebay as well as this book which I also got on Ebay for $6, I'm sort of glad to have all of it...for now.
I'm not impressed with the art work at all, it could be a LOT better, I've seen better an drawings of the characters, but because I know the story I liked seeing it sort of play out in the comic book sense and I like having a hard cover collectible. With that said, if you don't want your personal visual of the characters ruined, don't bother with this.
Laurell has always stressed that Anita isn't very tall, but her character has aklways made up for it with brains and brassier balls than any man. If I were to choose someone to play her in a movie, there's only one person that comes to mind that could handle the physically demanding challenges of the character, as well as the emotional depth, and that is Angelina Jolie. Scoff if you must (I don't care if you like her as a person or not, that's your issue), she is the most exceptional female action star, and that is an immense credit to her as an actress, because she's very chameleonesque. There is not a stunt she's not willing to do, directors and producers often have to hold her back due to insurance purposes, but she's extremely committed and devoted to her projects, and that is exactly what you should want in anyone playing Anita Blake.
When this eventually does go to the big screen, it will be an immense loss to not have her star. When you read through this book or the comics, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see why.

A graphic novel by Laurell K. Hamilton and Johnathan Green, this book took the reader into Anita’s past before her relationships with Jean Claude and the rest. I have been to the point where I wanted this series to die like 10 books ago. There is just no more to write about Anita and her 100 boyfriends. The mother of all darkness is dead and there are no more really scary villains, so Anita is back to dealing with her boyfriends, the ardeur, and her two jobs. Just wrap it up already Laurell! Maybe you should spend some of that energy focusing on the Merry Gentry series you just ditched somewhere on the side of the road. Anyway, I bought this book for cheap out of curiosity to see what the author could do in graphic novel format and a blast from the past. I was immediately struck by the inconsistencies. Anita and Jean Claude’s first meeting does not match up with the way it was described in the books. The Anita in this prequel does not match the Anita in the books. Even before the boyfriends and the ardeur, Anita was no wilting flower. She wasn’t afraid to stand up for herself and she wasn’t some timid little girl the way she is portrayed in the graphic novel. I was extremely disappointed. Not to mention, the cover art is terrible. Just a horrible book. Definitely not worth the money I paid.

The first Death is an interesting enough story, put on paper. It’s supposed to be the prequel before the book series starts. Anita describes bits and pieces of what happened to her in Guilty pleasures and the following books, to explain how her arm got so mangled and how she came to posses all her scars.
So far I still prefer the novels, but I'm willing to give the Graphic novels another try. I think Laurell K. Hamilton just does such a good job explaining what's going on in her stories and allowing your imagination to take hold that it's a bit hard to compete with that in drawings.
In the back of this book they have some detailed information on the world of the Anita Blake series and lots of the characters that appear in Guilty Pleasures. My advice would be to skip reading this part if you have not read Guilty pleasures yet, as it will ruin the story for you. It gives away a lot of the information, and will take the mystery right out of the story.

This takes place before Guilty Pleasures. I was expecting some extra insight or details on Anita or any of the other characters but it is REALLY short. In a nut shell this short story is about the case where Anita first meets Valentine. I was disappointed. To top it off, nearly half of the book is filled with character bios and details for all the people that appear in Guilty Pleasures. I’m not sure it’s really worth the effort.

I'm not a graphic novel/comic book fan. This is my second one. It was cool to see Anita and Jean-Claude's first meeting but otherwise it wasn't anything special. I'm counting it for my BookRiot challenge because I feel Anita Blake has superpowers!
December 23, 2020
Love being back in early Anita territory. This story takes place before Guilty Pleasures and I enjoyed it. It gives you a look into Anita's world before she because the emotionless killer we all know and love. I can't wait to dive into the Guilty Pleasures graphic novel!

Anyone who loves anita blake needs to get this, it is an awesome and amazing graphic novel that tells some of her past and a look at her vampire executioner education.
July 9, 2015
This was my first time reading a graphic novel, it was a good story and I do love having a visual but it just wasn't the same.
June 15, 2017
I’ve been reading Anita Blake for more than a decade, but this is my first adventure into the realm of the graphic novels. I liked the idea of representing the world in art and sharing it with a whole new set of readers, but without any actual intention of reading them myself. I don’t gravitate toward graphic novels, but I’m working on that. What finally pushed me toward The First Death is that I can’t read it anywhere else; this is the only origin story that’s been published and, well, you had me at Edward burns down a house full of vampires with a flamethrower.
A prequel to Guilty Pleasures, The First Death is animator and vampire slayer Anita Blake’s first hunt with the bounty-hunter-turned-assassin, Edward. While working a case with the Regional Preternatural Investigation Team, Anita stumbles on a kiss of vampires who have murdered upwards of twenty people, including children. While the police have their hands tied with red tape, Anita already has a warrant of execution–all she needs is backup.
I’m a huge fan of the artwork in this book. On the whole, it’s really well-done and the characters are faithfully represented. Anita, Edward, and Jean-Claude are near-perfect, and it’s exciting to see characters I’ve loved for years in color on a page. My only two hangups are that everyone is attractive, down to Dolph and Dead Dave. Anita has a lot of gorgeous men in her life, but with the exception of Jean-Claude, most of them don’t show up until many books later. The other is that in nearly every frame, Anita’s hair is in her face, which I doubt the tough-as-nails vampire slayer would tolerate for long.
It was very strange to see such a young Anita in action. She’s more innocent and timid than she is even in Guilty Pleasures, and I liked this insight into her younger self (while also missing the Take No Shit Anita that I love). She has barely any sarcasm for anyone, especially Jean-Claude, and there’s a laugh out loud scene where it takes her a few moments to realize that Zerbrowski is staring at her ass–something later Anita would notice and shut down immediately. I liked the story, but I found myself missing the descriptions of people and places that are always filtered through Anita’s sassy and critical perspective. I know the art is supposed to take its place, but nothing ever really eclipses actual writing for me, and I found it more difficult to get immersed in the story.
There are places where graphic novels emphasize in their own ways: the first time we see Jean-Claude, he breaks out of his frame like the gorgeous and attention-demanding vampire that he is, and there’s an entire page devoted to Anita/Edward bonding that I loved. But there are also points where I felt like I missed some of the action, that a scene jumped ahead too quickly and left me scrambling to figure out what was going on, and it could have used another frame or two to clear things up. I can’t decide if this is just the way the graphic novels go or if it’s because this is the novella version of a graphic novel and it got a little rushed.
The First Death is actually much shorter than it looks at first glance, since the second half is devoted to a handbook of people and places from this and Guilty Pleasures. I only read about two of them before I realized that it was basically just summarizing things that happen in the first novel without any new information, and then I gave it up. I read the book; I know what happens. I did enjoy flipping through the art for characters who weren’t in The First Death though, and I found myself wishing for illustrations of Richard, Micah, Nathaniel, Asher, and others from later books. The graphic novels stop at Circus of the Damned, so that’s probably wishful thinking. While this could never take the place of the books for me, I did enjoy it, and there’s a chance I’ll look into the existing graphic novels eventually.

I enjoyed the first few book's, then it became poor poor Anita has to fuck every Tom Dick and Harry. The men become food to satisfy her, she gets into crying fits and temper tantrums if they have any objection to this treatment. This writer spends a great deal of time describing how Anita loves some of the guy's hair or eyes, how Anita takes no shit from the men, but at the same time, she lets them control her because they are just so pretty. I do NOT enjoy writers turning women into anything but whores with an attitude. Basically this writer turned Anita into a whore the other women envy
Even is this writer was capable of writing anything else this writer lost me as a reader.

--This Graphic novel predates the first Anita Blake book 'Guilty Pleasures'. There is a great mystery about who is killing Vampires in St Louis 2 years after they have been granted citizenship. Master of the city Vampire Nikolaos hires (coerces) Anita to find out who is the killer. An amoral ally (Ted) Edward joins her & she finds that the killer is an undead, but not a vampire that is kept looking human with a gris-gris that needs to be fed with vampire blood. Freak parties, lawyer friends, RPIT, Animators Inc, Circus of the Damned, human servants, lycanthropes, wererats, Dead Dave, dancers & bouncers at Guilty Pleasures, and eventually the death of Nikolaos round out this book.--

I got this graphic novel because I'd read all of the Anita Blake novels and wanted to see if I liked this any better because it was a graphic novel. The answer is no, I liked it less. The characters all looked too much alike body type wise and they were just too pretty, even Edward who when I think of him, I think of him as an average, normal appearing blonde guy with a crewcut. Also, I just missed reading the books, this graphic novel seemed flat and I won't be bothering with any of the other Anita Black graphic novels. I think I'll just start rereading the series starting with Guilty Pleasures.

Thought I'd read every Anita Blake tale during my lastest reread of all novels and short stories over the last year or so, but realized I'd never read this one, hadn't taken the plastic off the book yet even.
Great little peak pre-Guilty Pleasures at some of Anita's earliest work with the police and Edward plus briefly meeting Jean Claude for the first time. We essentially have been told this story already but this time we get to see it play out.
Not a huge fan of the art, the eyes often not matching up in particular annoyed me, but overall fine once you get into the flow and feel immersed.

This book is kind of a companion piece to the two guilty pleasures. The first half of the book gives the story before guilty pleasures begins, and the second half the book kills say details the accounting of the characters in the story I think a few of the characters were left out, but most characters got at least a couple of lines in the back. This back also has spoilers so you may want to read the first half then read guilty pleasures and then supplement your knowledge of the players by reading the second half.

The First Death fleshes out a story we hear about in Guilty Pleasures (and other ABVH stories) but never saw. I've always enjoyed Anita and Edward's dynamic, so this was an enjoyable read. I do think the final fight could have been longer as there's a lot of build up to that moment.
The Guilty Pleasures Handbook is a good source of info into the world of Anita Blake, but since I've read the first book multiple times, I just skimmed it.

Very cool story about young Anita.
It was cool getting to see her early interactions with Edward and the police, and how inexperienced she was early on.
It was also interesting to see what she thought Zerbrowski and Jean Claude, look like. Zerbrowski wasn't what I expected.
Also, seeing the story of how she got her cross shaped scar was also interesting.

Anita Blake is a preternatural expert tasked with investigating a series of grisly vampire murders. As she navigates the dark world of vampires and the supernatural, she confronts dangerous foes and grapples with her own moral dilemmas.
While the premise of First Death offers a compelling glimpse into Anita Blake's early career, the storyline feels underdeveloped and a little waffly.

Review from 2016
I didn't enjoy this as much as the other graphic novel because it was a bit discorded and all over the place. I think that it was interesting to see the story before Guilty pleasures but It also wasn't too necessary. I'd only read this if your a big Anita Blake fan like I am :)

Loved the art. Story a bit ah, abbreviated. I suppose to make room for the huge appendix including summaries over and over of the first Anita Blake novel.
Huh?
Huh?
September 14, 2017
Really nice.
As a prequel to the novels it felt like the first few books and I really liked it. The art is solid, if a bit Manga-like (not a bad thing).

Edward is one of my favorite characters and I adored this so much.
