I loved the art! But I think I'll stick with the books. You just get so much more STORY that way. This graphic novel version was just highlights of the first book -- and not even in its entirety.

Such a fun read!!! *Chefs kiss*
The banter is absolutely amazing and the characters, although a bit flawed, are so easily lovable. The stories are always interesting and the pacing is just right so that the reader doesn’t really have time to piece things together because a new challenge appeared. Personal secrets and mysteries are hinted at but not dwelled upon which I appreciate. I love a tense, gritty book but this story was just so fun and refreshing. This quickly became one of my favorites and I’m excited to go through the series.

I've read both the book and the graphic novel. I thought the book was better. The graphic novel felt superficial.

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 really enjoyed this graphic novel version of Storm Front, book one in the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher. For those who've already read the novel, the plot will be completely familiar, but it was very entertaining to see the characters come to life on the page. The drawings are terrific, and I was surprised by how closely the images of Harry, Murphy, and Susan matched how I see them when I read the books. Clearly, a talented group of people were behind the creation of the graphic novel. Highly recommended for Dresden File fans.

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.
