Harry has been drafted by Listens-to Wind to investigate some killings down in Mississippi; a mysterious government agency has placed the blame on the Dog Men and the wizards are in a race to prevent a bloodbath. The story is so-so and the art is the same sub-par work I've come to expect in the Dresden Files comics. I did like the way Harry was written and it's always good to see Mouse, even if he was drawn like a large gray blob. Received via NetGalley. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
ContémPrêmios
New York Times-bestselling author Jim Butcher expands his beloved "Dresden Files" novel series with the all-new "Dog Men" story set within official continuity, created exclusively as a graphic novel! Harry Dresden is a man on the edge-and that is something that can be dangerous to friend and foe alike. He's been drafted by a senior member of the White Council of Wizards to investigate a series of murders in rural Mississippi. As always, there's more afoot than is immediately apparent. The question is, will Harry's state of mind keep him from seeing it, and will his actions lead him into direct conflict with the wizard who's depending on his help?

This story briefly connects to the previous graphic novel, Wild Card, as it opens with Harry having nightmares that appear to be fueled by a sense of powerlessness regarding his encounter with the villainous Puck, which I didn’t fully understand, though I admit I might be forgetting something that occurred in that book. From there, the story mostly dives into the main part of the plot, although Harry is seen a little emotionally unhinged in a couple of scenes, which again made me feel like I was missing something. Not to mention, not much really came of that part of the story. As for the main plot line in this book, it connects with a previous graphic novel story, Ghoul Goblin. I generally enjoyed it and thought that it was pretty well done. However, I missed all the supporting characters I’ve come to love in the Dresden World: Murphy, Molly, Thomas, Marcone. Some of them are only seen briefly in one of Harry’s dreams. The only familiar characters who are part of the main story in this one are Harry, Listens-to-Wind, and Mouse, so this might have accounted for some of the disconnect I felt from the greater Dresden universe. I did enjoy getting to know Listens-to-Wind, the elderly Native American, White Council member who can shape-change into a variety of different animals, which is cool, and for an old dude, he’s still pretty strong and powerful. We haven’t seen a great deal of him even in the novels up to this point in the series, so it was nice to learn more about him.
Based on the credits page, it appears that Jim Butcher was part of this project in name only as the creator of the Dresden Files series. Instead, it seems that Dog Men was written entirely by Mark Powers who has collaborated on most, if not all, of the previous graphic novels in this series. While I can’t put my finger on precisely what it was, I did pick up on the differences in the two authors’ writing styles. It just felt a bit dissimilar to me, and therefore didn’t feel quite as authentic. However, it was still a good story overall that was reasonably entertaining, just not one that had the same pizazz as some of the other graphic novels that Jim Butcher had a hand in. This one also introduces Diego Galindo, an artist who is brand new to this fantasy world. There was enough similarity between his artistic style and that of other illustrators who’ve worked on past graphic novels in the series that it wasn’t too jarring. But at the same time, his work isn’t one of my favorites. He just has a different vision of the characters that doesn’t match my own as closely as other artists have, and in certain frames, he seems to favor somewhat indistinct features rather than sharper, clearer ones. This might just be me being nit-picky, though. Overall, Dog Men might not have reached the heights of perfection for me, but it was a respectable entry into the Dresden graphic novel collection. ( )
