I was weaned on comic books.
I lusted for them far sooner than any other recalled lust. I credit comic books with infusing me with
the love of reading. They also must take
credit for my writing as well. Comic
books were the foundation of my learning.
That makes it hard to explain that this is one of the few graphic novels
I have ever read. I read the book that
inspired this graphic novel. The book
was better but this was good. It has
nuances that you miss in your own reading.
It is interesting to see how the illustrator show his vision of what is
occurring and compare it to your own.
The story has werewolves, a wizard, a cop, a mysterious
criminal mastermind and some FBI agents with questionable credentials. It is traditional Butcher with Harry Dresden
way over his head in violent intrigue.
The illustrations are darker than I see the story. Color and shading can infer emotions. I didn’t find the book as dark as the graphic
novel. I suspect that I would find Jim
Butcher’s work appealing regardless of the venue.
I recommend the book.
