Jim Butcher's Dresden Files by Mark Powers

Well, that changed, in part, after having read On the Graphic Novel, by Santiago Garcia (to read that post click here. Having reviewed a number of graphic novels over the two years that I have been writing posts for this blog, I worked hard to follow what other experts had said were the hallmarks of the graphic novel. IS 'DOWN TOWN' A COMIC BOOK OR A GRAPHIC NOVEL? Or, will Gentleman Johnny Marcone cause his own brand of trouble in Undertown? Will apprentice, Molly, be out of her depth and cause Dresden trouble? But most worrisome is whether or not Harry and Molly will make it out alive. Soon, they find themselves dealing not only with Chicago's Karen Murphy of Special Investigations, but also, Gentleman Johnny Marcone and his thugs, as well as a new 'baddie' from Chicago's notorious supernatural badlands, 'Undertown.' They will find themselves at risk as they dare to pass through the portal into Undertown.

Harry and recently acquired apprentice, Molly Carpenter, suddenly find themselves trying to find and stop an unknown monster that has been killing Chicago citizens. Harry Dresden lives as a wizard-one that advertises in the local newspaper as a wizard-for-hire.
