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.

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.

A pretty good adaptation but nothing super special. It's clearly hard for the artist to go along with drawing Harry as 6'9" and Murphy as 5'0". And Harry is drawn way too muscular. But otherwise no real complaints. Toot-Toot was pretty good as was Susan Rodriguez. And Bianca. Gentleman Johnny Marcone could have been better. I'm not all that impressed with Morgan but Murphy could have been a bit better. Art in general though was pretty good and captured Harry's use of magic pretty well. 3.5 of 5.

I got the GN cause I thought it was a new story but it wasn't. This is the first book in GN form.
