Welcome to the Jungle

I have missed watching 24 this year. It has been the only weekly television show that I have watched over the past few years. My T.V. viewing is now limited to CNN, and interesting shows that I find on the History or National Geographic Channels. 

In 2007, the Sci-Fi Channel ran a show called the Dresden Files, and it was conveniently scheduled for the hour prior to 24. I liked Monday nights last year.

Luckily, Dabel Brothers Publishing has released the Dresden Files in comic book form.

Sweet.

It is only a 4 issue run, but for me, that is certainly better than nothing.  I really want to believe that if I visit Chicago in the near future, that I will find Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, Professional Wizard, living in his apartment with his friendly Ghost and cool magic stuff.

Welcome to the Jungle opens with a murder scene, of course. A zoo security guard has been brutally murdered (a mangled body with a missing throat left behind) and the police have determined that the gorilla, Moe, did it.

You know Moe didn't do it.

Harry's friend, Lieutenant Murphy of the Special Investigations Unit, calls on our favorite Wizard to help her solve the crime. He's kinda got a thing for her, so he agrees to investigate and use his Wizard Sight to seek out the real killer.

The comic is a good read, and we (Harry) are left hanging with cats (not little cute kitty cats) that have glowing green eyes, and look like.........well, just bad cats.

Go Harry~

Interesting....sounds like the author must have read some E.A. Poe...

And Poe was, is and shall always be "The Man"

Sounds like an excellent comic.
