Editorial Review:

Product Description:
When the supernatural world spins out of control, when the police can’t handle what goes bump in the night, when monsters come screaming out of nightmares and into the mean streets, there’s just one man to call: Harry Dresden, the only professional wizard in the Chicago phone book. A police consultant and private investigator, Dresden has to walk the dangerous line between the world of night and the light of day.

Now Harry Dresden is investigating a brutal mauling at the Lincoln Park Zoo that has left a security guard dead and many questions unanswered. As an investigator of the supernatural, he senses that there’s more to this case than a simple animal attack, and as Dresden searches for clues to figure out who is really behind the crime, he finds himself next on the victim list, and being hunted by creatures that won’t leave much more than a stain if they catch him.

Written exclusively for comics by Jim Butcher, The Dresden Files: Welcome to the Jungle is a brand-new story that’s sure to enchant readers with a blend of gripping mystery and fantastic adventure.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great dresden grafic novel
A Great start to the dresden series. cant wait for the rest of the graphic novels.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Highly Reccomended!
First off, whether you're a fan of the series or not, this is a damn good story with excellent artwork.

I think that any fan of the series should get this book, whether you read comics or not. It takes place before Storm Front and gives a few more hints about Harry's past without giving away too much. Additionally,I found the author's notes and the artists sketches in the back to be an added bonus that, for me at least, will make reading the rest of the series even more enjoyable.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Dresden goes Manga
I added this to my Butcher collection & bought it knowing I was getting a (short) graphic novel vs. a book. With the in mind, I truly got what I paid for. Cost may exceed the norm for a comic book, but if you have priced short manga novels lately - this one is not exorbitant. Graphics are great, story line was good. I got exactly what I paid for - a new addition to my Harry Dresden collection, in a slightly different format. All is good.

Don't gripe about the size of the book; ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Graphic Novel "Prequel" to main series
This book has taken some knocks from readers who purchased expecting a full-length novel rather than a graphic novel aka "comic book." When I first saw this listed I too thought it might be a new book but when I read the description I found out what it truly was.
So, let's focus on the contents of the story and not the type of media. I thought that Jim Butcher and Ardian Syaf have done an excellent job bringing Harry Dresden to illustrated form. In fact, I think this brings Mr. Butcher's vision ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Good Fun Time
This beautiful graphic novel (that's fancy talk for bound Comic Book) is an excellent prequill to Stormfront and the rest of the Dresden series. For those who say it has no plot, I say try READING it. Aside from an amusing murder mystery, it also provides a flashback to Harry's battle with his former Master. Now, it's not as involved as his text-only novels, but then it doesn't have nearly as many pages.

To the people who bought this without realizing it was a graphic novel - did you even ... Read More
