Review: Welcome to the Jungle (Graphic Novel)

Series: The Dresden Files Graphic Novels: #0.5

Jungle-01-They-call-me

It’s certainly a bit different–there’s less room to breath and less freedom to imagine the characters as you want, but on the other hand, it’s more Dresden Files!

In a nutshell, you have a murder at a zoo. Might be something on the spooky side, so Dresden gets involved.

Jungle-02-The-strongest-survive

And of course he’s as snarky as can be:

Jungle-03-Prettier-than-my-clients

At times, it feels a bit overdone, which is saying something for Dresden. You get a snarky comment a page and it’s almost to the point of a caricature:

Jungle-07-Supplies

But you know what? I’ll take it.

Plus, COMIC BOOK SOUNDS!

Jungle-09-Bahwhoom

Even though the art seems a little odd at times (eyes in particular and proportions are way overblown, although that’s more obvious in Storm Front (Graphic Novel)), it really fits a comic book.

Alltother, don’t read it instead of the novels, but there’s absolutely no reason not to give both a try!

Jungle-08-Lazybones

Heh. Lazybones.
