This review originally published in Looking For a Good Book. Rated 4.0 of 5I've only read a handful of the original Dresden Files books/stories, and a slightly larger handful of these Dresden Files graphic novels, but I'm really enjoying this graphic novel series much more than I would have expected to like them.In this latest edition, Harry Dresden ... wizard detective ... has been called to rural Mississippi by one of the leaders of the White Council of Wizards to help investigate recent murde...
New Harry Dresden graphic novel. This time, Harry and Mouse accompany senior wizard, Listens-To-Wind, to Mississippi to check out a series of brutal murders in Taylor. Plenty of action with excellent illustrations by Diago Galindo. Highly recommended.
Quality art and a story line that had a lot of potential, but (sigh) in the end depended too much on violent action instead of plot and character development. Best character in my opinion is Harry Dresden's dog, Mouse. Imagery of federal government operators as narrow minded and inept thugs, though sometimes accurate, seems pretty trite as presented here. The titular "Dog Men" get short shrift and are not really the plot hinge but just accessories, and underdeveloped at that. (Though I admit I l...
As others have said this is a slow paced story, but once the action heats it takes off. And if you're waiting for the next Dresden Files this is a nice way to take the edge off and enjoy a story about one of your favorite heroes. Over all I enjoyed the story and like the development of Harry's relationship with Listens to the Wind.
Whereas the prior volume at least provided some set up for future Dresden stories, this felt more like just one long action piece where a member of the White Council is trying to get Dresden to grow up.Yes, Dresden does grow up a little, but I would argue that said point could have been reached with much less Carnage.
I read the first few pages and I was intrigued. I didn't get to finish it in time before it was archived. But I will definitely get a chance next time to finish it.
Reviewed for THC ReviewsDog Men is the seventh graphic novel in the Dresden Files world and yet another of these shorter stories that falls between Small Favor and Turn Coat in the greater series chronology. This one has Harry traveling to rural Mississippi at the request of senior White Council member, Listens-to-Wind. Four members of the same family disappeared in what appears to be some kind of brutally violent attack, and the only eyewitness thinks she saw a huge dog-like man emerging from t...
Story was fun. Artwork was just so so. But it was great to have another Harry story.
Meh. Disappointing. The Wolf People were goofy. The ghouls were even goofier. And Injun Joe was wasted as a character.
A nice little Harry Dresden side story. Listens to Wind comes to harry for help so they head to rural Mississippi to help find some missing people. A witness claims she say a Dog Man leaving the house, but could it be something else. As with any Dresden Files book, Harry mixes it up with multiple antagonists until it all comes crashing together into a crescendo of magic and violence. One thing that bothered me about the book is how it kept focusing on Harry's temper and his self-doubt. It took a...
+Digital copy gently provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review+*the problem: I don't know what happened with the edition, but there is a lot of missing letters so it looks like bad spelling ... as I see anothers reviewers complaining about the same I guess it's not just my copy.--------------------Harry Dresden is passing a bad time , consumed by regrets and nightmares, afraid mostly for his friends' future. This is after Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files: Wild Card . Mouse is trying
The artwork was quite good, but I wasn’t madly in love with the story. I’ve been missing Dresden, but I wasn’t thrilled to get another ghoul story, let alone an angsty, rage-driven Harry.
It always brightens my day to watch Dresden wiggle his way out of a problem by unleashing his power. Unfortunately, that is exactly the wrong thing to do in Dog Men. Luckily, he has Listens To Wind along when he went to Taylor, Mississippi, to check out a monster attack. Listen To Wind brought Dresden along to help him deal with the Dog Men in the area who are in danger from an unnamed Federal agency. But then a ghoul infestation raises its head and tries to swamp Dresden and the town. Interesti...
I love the Dresden Files graphic novels. The visuals are great, and the voice is the same as the books. Nice to tide you over until the next book comes out.
3 1/2 stars. I received a copy of Dog Men from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. If you’ve been following the Dresden Files (either the novels or the graphic novels, or both obviously), then you’ve got a pretty good idea of the world that’s been established. Dog Men fits into that world (of course), though it feels more like an aside than part of the main plot.(view spoiler)[ I mentioned above that Dog Men feels more like a brief aside or short story than part of the greater pl...
I'd give this a 4 for art and a 2 for story. Diego Galindo does a solid job of illustrating Harry, Listens-to-Wind, and the various side characters, and making everything flow effortlessly. But whether it's the fault of Mark Powers or Butcher himself, the writing is a mess here. Harry is usually someone who mouths off to people, particularly those who intimidate him, but he prides himself on being a wizard, one of the wise, thinking a couple of steps ahead of his foes. Here, however, Harry is a
Injun Joe... Mouse... <3 WHERE THE HELL ARE "PEACE TALKS"?!
Harry Dresden as a novel has been wanting in the recent years, it seems almost like the writer has taken some time of from the Dresden files. Only this year there seems to be a small change with short story collection in the summer and the next Dresden novel early December. Until that time I am sure the next dynamite comic will undoubtedly appear as they have done these last few years.Generally I do buy the separate installments but with this miniseries I missed out on the first one so decided t...
This is a short story of the Dresden universe, with Dresden and White Council member Listens-to-Wind investigating a murder in Louisiana. Things are obviously supernatural, but are the titular dog men the real danger? It's a pretty basic story, with Dresden going overboard and getting smacked down by several entities before finally turning the tables. The art is well done, but none of the characters really get a chance to develop any depth. I did appreciate that Mouse comes along for the adventu...
