The Dresden Files Welcome to the Jungle Jim Butcher Ardian Syaf Books

Good art style. This is a nice adaptation from book to comic. Nice original stories from the author. Works really well on the Kindle Fire, but wouldn't do well on Kindle paperwhite, as you really need the color. The Kindle-exclusive content is not really that impressive. The price is okay for the Kindle version, but I am an avid Jim Butcher fan, so it was worth it to me. If you are fans of the Dresden files, you will really enjoy this!

The Dresden Files Welcome to the Jungle Jim Butcher Ardian Syaf Books Reviews

I was a noob to graphic novels, this was my very first. As others have stated in review, it was a pleasant way to get a piece of Harry Dresden in advance of Turncoat, which comes out the 7th of April I believe. ) So not much longer. Woo Hoo! It was interesting to read the forward by Mr. Butcher and find out that he has always imagined Harry as a graphic novel looking character. It was nice to see deadpan sarcasm in the exchange between hero and villian. It was nice to explore a whole new way of looking at an old literary character, and I enjoyed it very much.

I'm disappointed at the less than intelligent reviewers that seem to get a great deal of personal pleasure from calling themselves fans, then complaining about this graphic novel. What is there not to like? You get a bit more of the story of Harry Dresden prior to Storm Front, and you get to actually see how the author sees Harry. Does that mean you cannot continue to "see" Harry as you prefer?? Only if you have a limited imagination. I'd recommend this graphic novel (compilation of comic books) to any Dresden fan.
A trademark blend of magic, noir and sarcasm Welcome to the Jungle is a full color example of why Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden is so popular.

A special consultant to the Chicago police, Harry is called in when a man is found dead at the zoo under mysterious circumstances. The brass wants to blame Moe the gorilla, put him down and be done with it. Special Investigations lead Karrin Murphy knows the evidence isn't adding up so she leaves the legwork that she can't explain to her bosses to Harry. After all, the list of things that can choke a man bare handed has to be small, right?

But before Harry can put the monster who did this down, he has to dodge great cats under compulsion spells (to kill him, of course) and supernatural dog assassins, save the girl and save the gorilla.

Spiked with humor, fast paced and fabulously drawn, Welcome to the Jungle is a welcome addition to the Dresden mythos and a must-have for Dresden fans.
I wasn't going to write a review for this book originally, but seeing the pile of unfair negative reviews, I thought I'd add my two cents to bring the rating back up.

The primary complaint people seem to have is that this is a graphic novel. Yes, readers, this book really is a graphic novel compilation of an original 4 issue comic series by Jim Butcher. If you don't like graphic novels, don't buy it. And if you categorically don't like graphic novels, please stop reviewing it. I hate rap. I don't write reviews on rap music. I would be horribly biased and wouldn't know what I was talking about. Any item should be evaluated on its own terms, not based on flaws with the company selling it. If you feel you were misled, then return the product.

Complaint number two seems to be that the book has no ties to the current Dresden Files plot lines. This book is a prequal. It is set before the beginning of the series. Butcher did it as a side project for a bit of a break, he hasn't forgotten his current plotline. As a prequal, the book stands well on its own, and introduces the characters of Harry, Murphy, and Bob reasonably well. The story is tightly contained, and the only possible flaw is that Harry & Murphy's relationship seems better than it was in the first few books where she was always arresting him for something.

The illustrations are beautiful. I'm not fond of the cover art, but that's not the style used on the interior, which is more lush and less photoshop-ish. I have one small problem with the artist representations in that Harry is drawn too short and Murphy is drawn too tall. This is most noticible when they're in the same frame together. Murph is 1-1/2 feet shorter than Harry, but in the comic she's as tall as his shoulder, about 1/2 foot shorter than he is. I suspect the artist tinkered with the heights so that he could fit Harry & Murphy's faces together in the comic frames more often, but it can be irritating to know Harry is an almost freakishly tall 6 foot 9, but in the book he is merely tall. I would suggest the artist pick up Back to the Future and study how the movie managed to fit the small Michael Fox and tall Christopher Lloyd in the same scenes together.

Butcher has a nice intro to the book, talking about his love for comics, and he clearly learned well from them. The number of narrative boxes is high, but somehow the story still flows and they don't overwhelm the pictures. The end result has me considering purchasing Storm Front's graphic novel version despite already owning the standard novel. If nothing else, it makes me hope he'll write a graphic prequal to book 3.

Extras! Yes, there's additional stuff in this book. The standard and varient covers are included, as are some concept art and writer's notes on the characters. And of course there's the lovely introduction/homage to comics.

The book is worth it if you're a Dresden fan. It's high quality, beautiful, and fun.
Earlier in the day I found this book, I had been thinking about the television series and thinking that there was no way that a TV series could do justice to the novels. It would require to much expensive computor graphics. I remember thinking that Harry would be great in a comic book. Later that day I went to to find out if another novel was available (It was, and I bought it.) and I found this graphic novel, so I just had to buy it too. It was totally outstanding. First of all Harry is drawn exactly as he is described in the books, rather than the way he is portrayed on the book covers. On the books he comes off as shorter and stockier than the verbal description inside. (Though I notice that on the latest he does appear somewhat thinner and taller.) Second point is the appearance of Bob The Skull. In this version, he is actually shown as a somewhat demonic spirit trapped inside a skull. (In the TV show he is a somewhat debauched English ghost wandering freely around Harry's chambers. Of course, the main feature is the monsters and demons, which are totally wierd and spooky. Even the enspelled tiger and lion are really scary, not to mention the gorilla.
All in all this is a welcome addition to the Harry Dresden genre and I hope to see many more like it
Good art style. This is a nice adaptation from book to comic. Nice original stories from the author. Works really well on the Fire, but wouldn't do well on paperwhite, as you really need the color. The -exclusive content is not really that impressive. The price is okay for the version, but I am an avid Jim Butcher fan, so it was worth it to me. If you are fans of the Dresden files, you will really enjoy this!
