review:

'Jim Butcher's Dresden Files: War Cry' is a graphic novel story featuring Harry Dresden. The story takes place after the 7th novel in the series, Dead Beat, but don't worry. A brief prologue will catch you up on events if you aren't familiar.



As the story opens, the Red Court (vampires) are at war with the White Council (wizards). Things are going so badly for the wizards that they've even brought loose cannon wizard into the fold and made him a Warden. They've also put three more barely experienced wizards under his charge. They are tasked with protecting a group of scholars in a house in the middle of nowhere. It's a mission doomed to failure, and there are things Harry learns along the way that make the task even more difficult. All they have to do is make it through the night, and hold off a huge army of vampires and their allies. Harry is Harry, though, and when his back is pressed against the wall, he's not afraid to execute the nuclear option.



This was great fun. As a fan of the series, it's great to have a graphic novel written by Jim Butcher because the characters are going to act like the reader knows they should. The art is alos fabulous and serves the story really well. It works as a standalone for those not familiar with the series, but it's a must have for fans of Dresden.



I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this great graphic novel.
