I was wondering what was so special about page 9. Maybe when Jim stopped reading and realized it was a good page to share.

I'd be quite happy with a "James Marsters as Bob" voice.
I've got this little guy that I refer to as Bob at my desk at work, but it'd be better if he talked!

Vampire from The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.
Could this be Lara Raith, perhaps?

She looks pretty and scary all at once!

What do other people think?

Also, I loved that four character spread a page or two back for the LARP handbook. Murph is HAWT!

I believe that I was off-base about the acting part of my last statement. The actors are fine, but there is chemistry missing that perhaps will be gained as the series progresses. I do feel however that the overall production is a bit (or maybe a little more than just a bit) over the top with shock-em action.

Scary easily fits. I am not so sure if pretty is the right word. Cover her up properly and is she still looking pretty? Maybe scary and pretty slutty would fit better? There is something off with the eyes - to me they are not drop-dead-georgeous as a white court vampire should be. Red court only partially transformed maybe?

I agree Duckie.

Speak softly and carry a big stick (that throws fire)!

Yes, Mr Constantine seems to use a lot of "red paint."

what is it with Harry and big sticks? Is he compensating for something? Apparently not, just ask Murphy that got a view of his real stick in Skin Game.

HARRY DRESDEN — WIZARD
Lost Items Found. Paranormal Investigations.
Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates.
No Love Potions, Endless Purses, Parties or Other Entertainment

The Dresden Files are set in a “alternate” Chicago where magic is real, but only a few actually believe in it; it’s a first-person tale told by an irascible wizard named Harry Dresden, who regularly gives the magical establishment indigestion — and the police, the same. Take Sam Spade, your Average Joe Underdog Action Star, and toss in some spellcraft, and you get Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Heck of a guy.
