Though I've only seen a few episodes of the tv show, I think this comic series is better than the books and a closer fit than the books.
One of my complaints, though, is that in the 38 pages, about 10 pages were of ads in the edition I was given to review. While I understand that IDW has some fantastic things in the works, it seemed like the ad space in this edition was a lot more than similar titles by the company.

I enjoyed the first volume of “True Blood” comics, surprisingly enough. Going into it, I was inwardly groaning and hoping that they’d be good, and they were. The volume I received was the first issue out of this entire volume, and was a lovely bite into an old world that was much like coming home. The prom plotline was cute, and it’s good to see that in some ways, at least, “True Blood” is staying true to its literary origins.

I think I like Marc Andreyko. I should look into more of his work. I liked this one better than Vol. 1 even though I feel like I was missing something at the end. That seems to be a theme as I'm writing things up tonight. I'm blaming my cold that I can't concentrate on story endings. Anyway, getting some back-story on characters isn't a bad way to integrate an extra story into a series.

This second graphic novel was SO MUCH BETTER than the first. I really loved the storyline and we learned some really interesting facts that hadn't been delved into on the show, the biggest being what happened to Jessica just before she was captured for Bill to turn her. That was awesome to know!
The storyline this time also read like the show--someone had tainted the Tru Blood supply with a crazy contaminant that caused the vampires who drank it to go cray cray faced.

It has been months, several, since I have read this graphic novel and most I recall is that I did not like this at all. Good thing is that I read it when I wrote little recaps for myself. (OCDish behaviour does have its advantages!)
Let's make a list! I love lists, and I think I should make a list for this..

Not to be missed for the True Blood fan. The drawings are similar to the cast in the TV series and the story stays closer to the book. The best of both worlds. The back ground was detailed and colored with perfection.
It is dark and creepy and Bill is down right scary looking, think evil dark stalker. I don't care for him so it worked for me. Jessica, and Sookie get to have a prom. It's sweet and you know somethings going to happen....
Don't dismiss these as being just comics !

Sarjikset menee tv-sarjan hahmoilla eikä Harrisin alkuperäisillä kirjoilla ole niiden kanssa juurikaan tekemistä. Koska olen katsonut True Bloodia vain kaksi kautta, tämä oli oikeastaan hieman spoilaava. En tiedä mihin aikaan nämä sijoittuvat sarjaa.
Mutta tarina oli todella paljon parempi kuin ensimmäisessä sarjiksessa, keskittyen Jessicaan ja hänen historiaansa. Taidan lukea sen kolmosenkin.
[Soon in libraries near you. Eli luetteloin ensi viikolla :P]

Not a bad addition to the True Blood graphic novel franchise, but not as character driven as the first one and not as exciting as the third one. It had an interesting premise of the Trueblood being tainted and affecting Jessica, but it never felt like Jessica or the rest of the characters were in real danger. Also, how the blood was tainted was a bit confusing. Not my favorite of the Trueblood comics, but worth a read.
This graphic novel is more on the side of the TV show than the novels. It uses the same story, the same characters and the appearance of the actors. The sketches are so good that you can't mistake one for another, and recognize them at first glance. It's astonishing! I really appreciate it, but what pleased me the most, was the fact that they used a new script, and I had the pleasure to discover an exclusive plot.
I thought this series was much better than the first one. It was a much stronger plot and, as it clearly took place between seasons 3 and 4 of the show, partially answered one lingering question the show presented last season. As always, the illustrations were quite good - I'm always impressed how they capture the actors/actresses so that even background characters are easily recognizable.
For a second storyline attempt, it's better than the first. I feel like they're :almost: there in making it as good as the television show. Of course, they have a limited number of pages to work with, but I'm holding out hope that the next volume will be good. Especially since it's set in New Orleans and features more Eric and Sookie. (Yay!)
eComic (Comixology) Action-packed story about Jessica, who goes on a rampage after drinking infected Tru-Blood. While Sookie and the scrummy Eric seek an antidote, Bill and the others fight to stop Jessica from causing too much destruction. Best panel? Eric carrying Sookie as he takes flight a la Superman. :)
This one was better than the last one. The plot was a bit stronger, liked the idea and Hoyt is just too cute for words. AAAAHhhhhhhhhh...... Eric.... ;o)
Shorter than the first one which was disappointing but it was a quick fun read when I should have been shelving books at work..lol..

Fun Graphic Novel series in the world of Sookie Stackhouse,created by Charlene Harris. Alan Ball, the creator of the Fabulous HBO Series, True Blood, has done a wonderful job in creating this Graphic Novel series. The stories are different from the TV series, but still lots of fun.
Ah, "True Blood" in comic book form. It's been a long time since I've read a comic book versus a graphic novel. I'd forgotten how fun they are. "True Blood" truly follows the spirit of comics as well as the book/television series.
I raced through this one thinking that it was longer than it was, and I was harshly disappointed when it came to an end, with a cliffhanger no less!
It's smart, funny, the art isn't horrible, and it's a good addition to the "True Blood" universe.

In this one you really get to see things from Jessica's point of view. Plus you get to see the events that lead up to her be tangled up with the vampires to start with.
This was okay but nothing overly spectacular. While volume one of the True Blood graphic novels provided a lot of interesting back story and greatly contributed to the series, this volume was merely a semi-interesting episode which was originally spread out over six issues.
More fun than the show.
Much better than volume 1. Artwork is fantastic. I like these graphic novels because they don't follow the books or the show.

Another good little tale starring the Bon Temps crew. I think I liked Vol. 1 better, though.
