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 was pretty good. I am glad I got to see how he did the handcuffs bc I was irritated by that in the book- I thought he somehow opened them.
A great follow up/part 2 of the first book in the Dresden Files in graphic novel form. Enjoyable artwork and always fun to see how the author imagines his characters.
In order to enjoy this, I think you need to be a huge fan of Butcher's Dresden Files. I am a huge fan. Seriously, I will read anything with Harry in it and call it gold. Gold!Having said that, I think most non-fans will think these particular graphic novels are turd nuggets. I can't say for sure that I would be able to follow the plot very well if I hadn't already read the book. And I hate to say it, but it may not be the best idea to cram a novel like this into a thin two volume comic book. A l...
3.5I really enjoyed the story, and I loved seeing it translated to graphic novel. Only problem I had with it (and that's why this rating) is the art style change somewhere in the middle. It felt like reading two different comics, and that threw me off a little. I really liked the art style before the change, mostly because that is how I pictured Harry when reading the book. The new art style just didn't fit the story. But maybe that's just me.Anyway, solid graphic novel, and I'll be definitely c...
It took a very long time for the second volume of the "Dresden Files: Storm Front" comic book to come out, apparently because it switched from Dabel Brothers to Dynamite Entertainment.So there's a bit of a shock coming partway through this comic book, when the shift occurred. Jim Butcher's solid urban fantasy story is as strong as ever, piling on the distrust, monsters and black magic until the fiery climax... but the art derails in a big way. Ardian Syaf, why did you have to go work for DC?Harr...
Great art but it worked better as a novel. Still great fun to see it in pictures.
It has been a few years since I read this book. Reading the graphic novel was a good reminder of a story that is very enjoyable. I like Harry Dresden. Jim Butcher is a good author and this fantasy series is excellent.
Hm. 2nd one on Hoopla but not the first? What's up with that?
My review is mostly the same for both volumes of this graphic novel. I didn't take notes while I was reading, so the finer points slipped out of my mind shortly after I read it. However, I did make some specific observations for part two. One might think, why read a graphic novel version of a prose novel? I was one of those who asked that question. I am eating my words now. I can see why. While I tend to visualize the books I read as movies playing in my head in full color, it's still a pleasure...
While the plot is more confusing this time around and also a bit forced, it's still enjoyable. The dialogue is just as funny, the main character faces another dangerous challenge and the magic is just plain cool.More pressure is added on Dresden's shoulders. Warden Morgan, a servant of the White Council of wizards, makes it his personal mission to bring Dresden down. He must first find irrefutable proof of Dresden breaking the wizard laws. Dresden loses the trust of detective Murphy who hired hi...
Here's the second half of the story from Storm Front. Mr. Butcher does a good job of transferring his novel to graphic novel format. The art is also done well and doesn't have the failings I've seen in some other graphic novels.While I like this alright and find that as usual stories from J.Butcher is an enjoyable experience still I don't know that I'll follow the series any further. I like the novels and this simply feels a little...less detailed. For example I had high hopes for what happened
A pretty faithful translation of the novel. I definitely suggest reading the novel first but Syaf does a good job of visually translating the story. Unfortunately Brett Booth swoops in to finish up the story and he is just not as talented of an artist. Sometimes less is more. Booth always overloads the page with swirly special effects. Some of those scenes in the burning house are difficult to make out due to the amount of crap Booth has drawn on it. It's cool to see Jim Butcher's fantastic worl...
It's two parts: Jim Butcher's Dresden Files: Storm Front Vol 1 #2 and Jim Butcher's Dresden Files: Storm Front Vol 1 #2, 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 Storm Front 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 a...
An epic adapted graphic novel of the first Dresden Files book. I was surprised to find that most of the images contained within the graphic novel actually matched what I thought the scene would look like in my head when reading the first novel. I'm excited to see what the graphic novel for Fool Moon brings.
Great story and actionI don't know why they always have different artist draw when the first one had it right! I didn't like the art work on volume two, made Harry look like a weird weakly freak, but the story and characters were still great. But if the arts not good, why have a graphic novel?
Ah so much fun to dive back into the world of Harry Dresden and to enjoy the first adventure once again, I had read the series enough time ago that I had almost forgotten the finer points of the story and it was like I was reading a new adventure once again so I am glad for the forgetful mind that I got to enjoy this story for the first time twice. Poor Harry he just can't catch a break and have to run from post to pillar to find the killer and to bring people to justice.I finally decided to rea...
Stormfront stands up as a graphic novel, a really good one at that. Now seeing Harry up through Cold Days, it was nice to go back to the start. My only complaint would be that the artist changed half way through this volume, and the change was a bit jarring visually. The ladies in this were mostly drawn with the tiny waist, huge boobs that I find disappointing of the style. But then how many graphic novels are drawn to the tastes of almost 40 year old moms?
The second installment of the novel adaptation. Just like the first one, you can read it instead of the book and you'll get the full story. While I'm not a big fan of the artist, Brett Booth, I really enjoyed his work in this story. I don't love the way he stylizes the human figure, but he definitely has a wonderful talent for creating atmosphere. It is very difficult to capture "the supernatural" in a book without it seeming cheesy, but there was a lot going one in his panels without being over...
Susan "This is the worst night of my life."Harry "That's what you get for going out with a Wizard." Just finished Storm Front and was pleasantly surprised to see there was a graphic novel version. Well, this second half of this also has gorgeous art. Harry looks like he's just a young man, maybe in his mid 20s, but they managed to draw him with cynical eyes. I won't complain too much about the dialogue being predictable as that's what was in the novel. Just enough to say that if you're a Dres
