Fool Moon: Volume 2 by Mark Powers, Jim Butcher
3.0
We finish up Dresden's quest to protect Chicago from a rampant werewolf and those who would use him for their own nefarious purposes.
The more of these I read, the more I feel like they should only be used as a refresher. While it's no surprise that a lot is lost in adapting the novels to a comic book, I feel that *too much* is lost. I enjoyed these because I'd already read the books, but I think some plot points aren't completely clear in this format.
Conley illustrated the last volume, but he seemed to change to a more cartoon-y style. Mobster Marcone still looks too elegant, instead of the kind of guy who once was capable of beating people to death with his bare hands. I'm still holding out hope that someone can draw Murphy closer to how she's described in the books...
