 JIM BUTCHER IS WRITING THE DRESDEN FILES COMIC BOOK MINI-SERIES!!!

see here.

I gather someone else is writing the comics that will adapt the books, though.

The TV series may have failed *sniffle*  but at least it seems to have brought a fair bit of attention to the property.

Yup! I never would have read it if, erm, I hadn't known about it. And I don't know what would necessarily have highlighted urban fantasy for me to pick up since I rarely touch the genre anymore.

I love seeing how much better his writing's gotten, and how good the story elements are. Unlike Anita Blake, Dresden actually grows and does more interesting things.

Yes. The books started out good but not amazing, then suddenly turned awesome.

Looking at the art for Dresden...I could so do that as a costume some time.

And not be recognised by *anyone*. ;)

Man, I was heartbroken when they didn't renew the series.
This is way good though, more Harry Dresden in the world is a Good Thing.

Exactly! The one that really amazed me was Dead Beat. Everything came together so amazingly perfectly in it.

anything that results in more dresden, thomas and murphy means i approve.

i still mourn the tv show.

Love that icon.

I have to admit, I was really underwhelled by the tv show (I think I made a MST-3000 post about the one episode I liked.)

However, since the author himself is writing the comics... that should be good.
