This was disappointing. In its defense though, I didn't enjoy the book it's based off of either. Comparatively, Murphy was a bit more tolerable here, and since the story is so packed with action, it translates well to a graphic novel and helped me better understand what was happening in each of the altercations. But that's where my positives end.
They cut out alot of things from the story, and though I understand why they would do that, and even thought that at times it was an improvement... it also removed most of the emotions. The scenes that made the book redeemable to me were not included in this Graphic Novel. Susan and Dresden's emotional and intimate scene, Tera and the Alphas' struggle to abandon revenge, and Tera and MacFinn's fight, were all removed and left the novel emotionally stunted. And Dresden himself lost some of his likeable spark and personality as his lines were cut or replaced.
Maybe it would have survived these changes if the art were better, unfortunately I found it to be quite crudely done and not really pleasing to look at. The characters almost looking like putty at times. And they did not have one static look, I had to often look at clothes or hair to know which character I was looking at, as their features changed so much throughout.
I will continue with the series though, hopefully the original stories will be better reads.

(I was provided with a Netgalley copy in exchange for a review.)

I’m a fan of the book series but I have mixed feelings on how it translates into comic form. It’s frustrating to have the story split into multiple volumes.
