Went to the Calico Ghost town today and saw these folks playing music to entertain the Halloween visitors to Calico! I told the boy playing the banjo about Jim Butcher's new Steampunk book series and he was very interested.

That's so awesome! The family steampunk and your promoting the new books! :

Another project? Perhaps an HBO series that's at least as close to the books as their Game of Thrones?

HBO needs sex. Both GoT and True Blood turned into sex fests. I'm not sure I'd like what they do to the Dresden Files.

Cool Jim’s Birthday and War Cry Character Art, Part 1! Plus Podcast Fun

Quote:
Jim’s Birthday and War Cry Character Art, Part 1! Plus Podcast Fun

HAPPY BELATED TO JIM

Jim’s birthday was Sunday! Share your belated birthday wishes on our forum or twitter!

WAR CRY COUNTDOWN CONTINUES

The Direct Market release of WAR CRY is just two weeks away! Get excited with Carlos Gomez’s awesome concept art of Harry, Thomas, and new character Catherine Taylor! Click the thumbnails to embiggen. We’ll bring you the concept art for Ramirez, Yoshimo, and Wild Bill next week.




This 144-page hardcover collects all five issues of the original Harry Dresden War Cry comic book series by Jim Butcher, Mark Powers, and Carlos Gomez. It also features the complete comic book cover illustrations from Stjepan Sejic and Carlos Gomez!

WAR CRY hits the Direct Market on 11/19 and the regular Book Market a week later, on 11/25. “Direct Market” refers to dedicated comics stores, including online comics stores like Dynamite and Midtown Comics. “Book Market” is everything else, including brick-and-mortar bookstores and sites like Amazon and B&N.

You can preorder your copy from your favorite local comic store, Amazon, B&N, or Dynamite. Dynamite is also offering copies signed by Jim! Supply of the signed edition is limited, so if you’re interested, definitely jump on that opportunity!

PODCAST FUN

Jim was a recent guest on the Once and Future Podcast, though this time, the roles were reversed. Hear him interview host Anton Strout!

You know, I tried that "Welcome to the Jungle" comic book graphic novel. I thought Dresden looked like a bruiser! I always got the impression from the books that Dresden would have been a bit on the tall-but-scrawny side, so I just couldn't treat it like it belonged in the Dresden universe.

Has anyone here read the War Cry comic books graphic novels? Is it the same artist/rendition?

I don't read comic books graphic novels, but didn't Harry get a lot more muscular from repeated shouting of Parkour? Next to Michael he might look skinny, though. I don't think it is mentioned how big he really is in the books and he dislikes mirrors ...

I haven't read the comic books graphic novels either but I tend to agree with FizzyWater regarding the impressions of Harry.

He compares his height to an NBA player. Those guys are tall and muscular but not body builder big.

Cool ...conversation with the lovely Queen Mab...

Quote:
“What is it you want?”

“You,” Mab said, folding her hands primly in front of her. “My offer of Knighthood yet stands open to you.”

“What’s wrong with the new guy?” I asked, “that you’d dump him for me?”

Mab showed me her teeth again. “I have not yet replaced my current Knight, treacher though he is,” she purred.

“He’s still alive?” I asked.

“I suppose,” Mab said. “Though he very much wishes that he were not. I have taken the time to explain to him at length the error of his ways.”

Torture. She’d been torturing him in vengeance for his treachery for more than three years.

I felt a little sick to my stomach.
