Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files: War Cry Collection

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 they've dragooned the experienced and the outcast to reinforce their thinning ranks of Wardens. One of these draftees is one Harry Dresden, Chicago's only wizard-for-hire and a guy who's long been looked upon with suspicion by the supernatural authorities. Now, he's 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 who've 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 Butcher's 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 I've 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 I'm extremely pleased with how well it's coming out."

This graphic novel takes place a little after the events in Dead Beat, during the war between the Red Court vampires and the White Council. Harry and his team of wardens are sent to protect a group of scholars, but there is more going on than the White Council has divulged. In the story, we see Harry‘s half brother, Thomas Raith, again. I didn‘t always like the shift between Harry‘s and Thomas‘ povs; it could be confusing, but I liked the story.

I love a good Dresden Files story. I really love that he's doing graphic novels that help connect the other novels he's written. This one even includes a spoiler for the novel Turncoat so if you plan on reading that I would wait on this. Highly recommend!

Been reading the Dresden graphic novels and they are on point. I like them as much as the actual books which are great reads.
