I love all of the books, short stories and graphic novels in the Dresden series. The storyline to this graphic novel was an engaging read. The art work was well done. I recommend it to all Dresden fans.

I put up reading that one, thinking it’d spoil me too much about some of the Dreaden Files books I haven’t read yet, but, uhm, turned out it didn’t. Or maybe I’ve ‘forgotten’ just enough details from the books that whatever may have been a spoiler, I just didn’t realise it? Oh well. Good thing in any case.

Globally an entertaining story, with high stakes of the kind you’d find in one of the novels, and a plan coming from a devious enemy who’s clearly understood how to pit people against each other. Because, as silly as it may sound, sometimes the people in charge do act in what appears to be the non-smart way just not to lose face—as much as I find it non-rational, previous plots in the Dresden Files have seen the tension mount enough for this to be believable. This was helped by pretty dynamic fight/action scenes. Also, bonus point for little Karrin and her dad.

On the downside:
- As usual with a lot of comics, I could do without the sexualised-woman-poses, many of which looked definitely weird (you know, those ‘let’s strike a sexy pose while wielding heavy weapons, it’s not as if I need my balance for that’ poses). Just like that scene in the hospital, where a character’s wounds are listed, but when you see said character in bed, well… That didn’t look like such a beaten up and bruised body to me.
- That ending. WTF? In a way, it made sense, but it was so totally anti-climatic that I kept looking to see if I hadn’t missed a few more pages in the book.

So, yes… Something like 2.5 stars, because mostly it kept me entertained, right until that odd ending?

Jim Butcher just never disappoints. The Dresdenverse is just so wholly realized that we can read graphic novel after novel and want more.

Puck shows up in town. Makes havoc for no less than three factions (as is the rule for latter Dresden Files), Harry has to track him down and get him to leave (presumably by asking nicely). The unfortunate part is that Puck acts by proxy for most of the book. Sure it leaves Harry plenty of things to light on fire, but the jackass versus jackass moments at the end are really entertaining, there could have been a whole game of spy-vs-spy slapstick wizardry as a pace changer for the comics, but oh well.

Verdict: try it. For completionists its more and not bad, but if you're not a hardcore Dresden Files reader, give it a pass.

'Jim Butcher's Dresden Files: Wild Card' by Jim Butcher with art by Mark Powers is the 6th Dresden Files graphic novel, and it might be my favorite in the series so far. This story takes place after the White Night novel.

A double murder has happened, and Harry Dresden gets drawn into a case that may cause a civil war between the White Court of vampires and the city's main crime boss,Johnny Marcone. Fortunately, Harry has a sharp young apprentice in Molly Carpenter, a good frind on the police force in Karrin Murphy, and a half-brother named Thomas who is a vampire. He will need all these resources as well as a visit to his scary fairy Godmother to sort things out.

I'm a fan of the books and the graphic novels. It's great to see the characters in art, and the art here is rather good. The story holds up well, too. I've felt like sometimes the graphic novels have been a bit weak, but I liked this one a lot.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dynamite Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Thought I reviewed this one a long time ago. Oops. I love the Dresden files and having graphic novels that depicted one of my favorite characters made it easy for me to get into a graphic novel when I wasn't sure if I would like them or not. Great graphics and a fun story!
