Well I love the shit out of the original book and the audiobook; so it only makes sense that I would love this as well! Some of the characters are not how I imagined (as it always is in movies and pictures), but it was no biggie. I also thought the storytelling pace was perfect and didn't leave anything out; it was very faithful to the book! Overall a great adaptation and I definitely need to get the rest in this series so I can see how it progresses. Eventually I'll get around to watching the show!

I just love The Dresden Files! The artwork in this is pretty darn good. I would definitely recommend people read the actual book first though. :)

This is a really good representation of the first half of the Storm Front book. Love the art style and the storytelling, it stays very true to the original.

Oddly enough, this story makes a far better graphic novel than it did a book.

Caught up on all the books, so now I'm scratching the itch with the comics. Solid adaptation so far. Morgan especially is exactly how I pictured him.

Really great artwork, and the story is condensed really well.

Enjoyed Jim Butcher's introduction more than the adaptation itself. In it, he observes
The biggest scenes in The Dresden Files almost always crystallize into a single image in my imagination, and that image becomes the basis for the scene around it. I don't have the skill to share those images with other people by creating them myself. I've always had to do it with words, instead.
Actually, Jim, I much prefer your spellcasting with words than this medium. The graphic adaptation gets the job done, but with far less captivation than the crafted prose.

The artwork was very well done, maybe without as clean of lines as I prefer, but I enjoyed the art - fantastic use of color and texture in both the characters and background. I really enjoyed the forward by Butcher, it was very interesting and explained quite a bit about his writing style.

I thought it was a very good adaptation of the book :) it was fun to see all the characters drawn out. My only complaint was that the book is too short and my library only had the first one XD I want to read it all.
