review:

Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden gets an original graphic novel and it's pitch perfect. The story (idea from Jim Butcher) takes place right after the book Fool Moon. In that book, Harry has survived werewolf attacks that have led to an unexpected loss.



When Harry gets the chance to leave Chicago and investigate a series of murders in a small Missouri town, he jumps on it. Packing his staff and, of course, Bob, he finds himself in the middle of a family curse that began in Egypt a number of years before. Harry finds himself stuck between a ghoul and a goblin who are set on eliminatig the family. Harry finds unusual allies, and, as always, gets pretty beat up along the way.



It's a great standalone story and works well as a graphic novel. Story by Jim Butcher and Mark Powers and illustrated by Joseph Cooper, it's exactly how I picture the world of Harry Dresden to look. The book includes the original story treatment and rough script as well as pencil sketches of the main characters. If you're a Harry Dresden fan like me, you should definitely check this out.



I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
