Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files War Cry

To say I loved this book would be such an understatement. Its a great intensely fun quick read that satisfied my Dresden Files itch in a year during which Im not sure well get a new novel in the series. - Kirkus A war is raging between the vampire forces of the Red Court and the White Council - a war that the wizards are losing. So desperate are the Council that theyve dragooned the experienced and the outcast to reinforce their thinning ranks of Wardens. One of these draftees is one Harry Dresden Chicagos only wizard-for-hire and a guy whos long been looked upon with suspicion by the supernatural authorities. Now hes one of them and his first big mission as a Warden is a doozy: take a small team of greenhorns to a frigid town in the middle of nowhere to rescue a handful of mortals whove been targeted by the Red Court. The question is why exactly are these particular mortals so crucial to the outcome of the war? The answer will come only if Harry can keep them and his team alive for one very long night. This graphic novel collects the critically acclaimed five-issue series in one volume and features a bonus section with Jim Butchers original story outline sketchbook artwork from Carlos Gomez cover gallery with roughs from Stjepan Sejic and more! Creator Commentary from Jim Butcher: ""The greatest frustration about writing the Dresden Files is all the stories I come up with that are too small or too straightforward to write into a novel. One of the great pleasures Ive had as a writer is getting the opportunity to tell some of those stories in a short-story format and in graphic novels like this one! War Cry is one of the stories I always wanted to tell but never got the chance to in the context of the novels and Im extremely pleased with how well its coming out.""
