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:  - Graphic Novel PrequelAs a story written just for comics, Welcome to the Jungle is supposed to be a prequel for Butcher's Storm Front.

Second, I don't care if they try to make it sound better calling it a graphic novel, it's still a comic book. I outgrew that when I became an adult. Rating:  - Neat ConceptWasn't sure what I would think about a Harry Dresden graphic novel. A lot of the fun of the Dresden series is the imagination involved in picturing the stories. I have to say though, I really enjoyed this. Well writen and drawn, it was a fun ride. My only complaint is it was too short (at least to what I am used to in a Dresden story). If you are a Harry Dresden fan then get this. You'll like it. Rating: - good readthis is a good story for airplane trips or something like that. a good book for the hour or so it takes too read. good artwork to Rating: - Good Graphic Novel as part of the seriesI enjoyed this installment of the series. I prefer traditional books to "comic books" but this one was well done and well illustrated. I will buy the next one when it comes out.
