A pretty straight conversion from text to graphic novel. Not bad writing, not bad art. Dresden and Murphy should both have been thinner. Dresden should have been taller. Magic was handled pretty well and story was not a bad one. The Blue Beetle should have been way more battered. All in all not a bad start. 3.5 of 5.
The art work is beautiful and very colorful; the story - very engaging!Wish I read this before Storm Front, but this graphic novel was pretty on point with how I imagined the characters while reading the book. This graphic novel makes me want to go back to continue reading the books.
Story: 5 stars!Art: 5 stars!That was really good! This is a prequel to the first novel in the Dresden Files series. I haven't read any of the novels so I went into this knowing nothing. I was pleasantly surprised. The story was interesting and engaging. The mythology was unique. It also had the best art I've seen in a while. This graphic novel is definitely worth picking up if you like fantasy and mythology. Now I'm excited and looking forward to reading the novels :)
I'm familiar with Butcher's Dresden Files, but I've never read any of the books. Reading the graphic novel, thus, became my first Dresden experience, and it's a bit of a mixed bag.Welcome to the Jungle follows none other than the infamous Harry Dresden, sorcerer extraordinaire turned mystical detective, as he takes on yet another case: a brutal murder at the Chicago zoo with too many unanswered questions for the poor Chicago PD to handle; that's why they've called Dresden, because his specialty

Eh, for 4 issues I figured that there would be more story. The art is great and the story is original, but I was expecting more...
