Desciption
Harry Dresden, a Chicago private investigator and wizard, heads to a small, isolated Missouri town terrorized by Nevernever monsters. The singularly unfortunate Talbot family has suffered a curse that has decimated their number for generations, and only our hero can save them... that is, if he can survive hostile lawmen, the dark secrets of townsfolk, an ancient guardian spirit, and two deadly carnivores! Can Dresden cleanse the Talbot bloodline of its curse without a blood sacrifice of his own?
Review
Adapting Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden files stories to a graphic novel medium was an inspired decision – and this worked very well.Butcher and illustrators Mark Powers and Joseph Cooper collaborated to make an entertaining, fun to read graphic that further expanded the storyline and pushed back the horizons on Butcher’s fantastic world building.We get to know more about ghouls and goblins and as in much of the Dresden universe, Butcher has changed the rules some from the Monster Manual as well as more traditional and mythical ideas about ghouls and goblins.Here, a decades old curse is coming down hard on an out of Chicago family and Harry gets in the middle of the action. We also get to know an ancient spirit and another ancient supernatural being from a foreign mythos.Altogether a Dresden good time and one that fans will not want to miss.
