Harry Dresden is a wizard, the only one in the Chicago phone book. He uses his arcane powers to investigate the supernatural, often assisting the Special Investigations Unit of the Chicago P.D. with cases that are beyond their comprehension. But Harry must use his powers carefully. Because of a dark incident in his past, he is kept under close watch by the ruling body of wizards known as the White Council. Any violation of the Seven Laws of Magic will cost him dearly-perhaps even his life. Now Harry's latest investigation has pushed him to the precipice. He's up against mysterious murders by magic that some believe only he could have committed-even Harry's best friend doubts his innocence-and a gangland boss who wants Harry to stay out of the way. From all fronts, storm clouds are gathering around a beleaguered Harry Dresden. Maelstrom continues the adaptation of Storm Front, the first book in Jim Butcher's New York Times bestselling series. This stunningly illustrated story will thrill old fans and win new ones, with eye-catching artwork by the amazing Ardian Syaf and a riveting story of paranormal adventure.… (meer)

It's two parts: [b:Jim Butcher's Dresden Files: Storm Front Vol 1 #2|22394962|Jim Butcher's Dresden Files Storm Front Vol 1 #2|Mark Powers|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1401755307l/22394962._SY75_.jpg|41816485] and [b:Jim Butcher's Dresden Files: Storm Front Vol 1 #2|22394962|Jim Butcher's Dresden Files Storm Front Vol 1 #2|Mark Powers|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1401755307l/22394962._SY75_.jpg|41816485], but I think that's totally just a binding/printing thing. The story isn't really broken up any differently than the novel already was or than the individual issues that make it up have to be.

All together: it's [b:Storm Front|47212|Storm Front (The Dresden Files, #1)|Jim Butcher|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1572991273l/47212._SY75_.jpg|1137060] as a comic book.



All of the big scenes are there, right from the very beginning.

On top of that, you get some graphical depictions of the characters which are ... fascinating at times.

Toot toot!



Morgan!



I'm not one to picture characters as I'm reading, but if you are... this might cause a bit of dissonance.

One thing that is great about comics is just how crazy of scenes you can show... while having to censor out bits that novels can much more easily get away with:



Never ask that question... Also what's with the eyes?



Naked magic circle!



Frog demons! Convenient smoke! RRROAAARRRAWK! (I do love comic book sound effects).

Two reasons to really like the comic version:



You can actually get snippets from other points of view. That's not something we saw in the novels up until some of the very last ones (and a few shorts). It's interesting.

Plus, representations of things like The Sight:



Pretty cool. Glad I read it.

Random note: It's on Kindle Unlimited, but not Comixology Unlimited? Weird. Especially since Amazon owns both... ( )

artist change halfway through. not in a bad way, but it actually helped me believe Harry's supposed to be in his mid-20s at this time. most of the other art makes him look at least 35. ( )

This is the second volume in the Storm Front graphic novelization of Butcher’s book of the same name. It was very well done and I enjoyed it alot.

This picks up right where Book 1 (issues 1-4) left off. Harry is trying to solve this mystery of murder and dark magic, but he is under close observation by the Council. Now Murphy suspects him of foul play as well and has her eye on him. Can Harry solve the mystery, save innocents, and keep his own butt out of jail before it is too late?

If you have enjoyed the previous two Dresden Files graphic novels you will enjoy this one. If you enjoyed the Dresden Files books you should give the graphic novels a try; they are really well done.

The story follows the book well and adds a little bit to the story too. The illustration is extremely well done. It’s all in full color, is very detailed, super easy to follow, and matches the mood of the story perfectly.

There is a lot of the humor here that is present in the books as well and you will find yourself chuckling out loud a number of times. Really the graphic novelization is really well done. All of the characters look exactly how I pictured them when reading the book.

Overall an excellent graphic novel adaptation of the Dresden Files Storm Front book. I really loved the book series and am really enjoying the graphic novels for it as well. This graphic novel captures the mood, action, and humor of the book very well. The artwork is stunning and incredibly well done. Highly recommended to those who love fantasy/urban fantasy graphic novels. Also highly recommended to fans of the Dresden Files. ( )

The art work is still amazing. Still the best graphic novels I've read all year. ( )
