Quick question:

[quietprofanity]

Why does Guilty Pleasures take Marvel 12 issues to adapt but Pride and Prejudice only takes five?

Also, why do all of the Bennet sisters have that Greg Land-esque "please jizz in my mouth" face? Hell, Mrs. Bennet kind of has it. Ew.

Also, that shouldn't bother me more than the horrible, condescending cover but it does.

You know, I was tempted to check out Marvel's Wizard of Oz adaptation at Borders just yesterday.

But then, it is just the same old story. And the Emerald City was such a cop-out design in a "let's make it really simple but EXAGGERATE its proportions because it'll be cartoony!!!" sort of way. ¦X

Answer: Because Guilty Pleasures will net the company seven times the revenue.

After all, how many sexy vampires are in Pride and Prejudice? At least this version has zombies going for it.

My guess is that Marvel is trying to bring more women in through hot vampire action instead of strong, social commentary via the classic novel.

And also because Land works only from porn.

The art has that 'traced from a photo and colored with photoshop, MAKING LIBERAL USE OF DODGE/BURN' look that Land's stuff tends to have, too.

The cover makes me a sad panda.

I read the first issue and was so very, very disappointed. They stripped all the Austen from it, and left us with a period romcom.

Yeah, the only thing I could think when I saw the sample pages was "why do they all look generic-comicbook-babe-sexy?"

Even the really young ones? Arrrghhh.
