(I received a free copy of this book, through NetGalley, in exchange for a review).
(This review may contain spoilers).
I’ve really enjoyed reading the Dresden Files novels. I haven’t picked one up in a while, but I remember really liking them and particularly growing fond of Harry as a character… even though some other reviews of the series I’ve read have pointed out some issues with the series.
So, when I saw a comic based on the series available on NetGalley, I was immediately eager to read it.
It has been a while since I read the series, but I found it fairly easy to follow, even though I’d forgotten who some of the characters were. (I know Ramirez… but I can’t remember *who* he is…) Still, there were parts that were written in Harry’s narration that I felt really fit in with the character as I know him… even if the tenses did keep changing.
I felt that the artwork in this comic was really good and the storyline was really intriguing. I especially liked seeing Thomas in the comic. I like his relationship with Harry in the books and I felt that was showcased especially well here in this comic.
I don’t think the artwork really matched how I pictured the characters in my mind, but I still really found the artwork good and the storyline entertaining and engaging. It’s made me want to go back to the world of the Dresden Files.
I would have liked to see more elements of the book series in this comic, such as Harry’s mixing of potions, which I’ve always been really intrigued by. I hope that, in later comics, more of the elements from the series will be included.
