October 9, 2014, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Dynamite home entertainment is pleased to reveal the spring 2015 launch of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files: Down Town, a contemporary fantasy miniseries featuring an original Jim Butcher story exclusively developed for the comic book medium, as well as set within official continuity of the fan-favorite Dresden files book series. building upon the success of new York Times bestselling graphic book Dresden Files: Ghoul Goblin as well as formidable consumer preorders of this coming November’s Dresden Files: war Cry release, the new series will pit the titular wizard-for-hire Harry Dresden as well as a brand-new apprentice against a partnership of magic as well as mobsters.
Dresden Files: Down town reunites series developer Jim Butcher, co-writer mark Powers (G.I.Joe, Drafted), as well as artist Carlos Gomez (Deadpool, Pathfinder), the acclaimed innovative team of the preceding Dresden Files: war Cry comic book, a collaboration hailed by critics as being “fast-paced as well as explosive” (Comic book Therapy) as well as worthy of the “highest possible recommendation” (SciFi Pulse). featuring cover artwork by Stjepan Sejic (Witchblade, Conan), the new Dresden Files: downtown storyline will be serialized in six comic book issues, before collection as a hardcover graphic book later in 2015.

In Down Town, Harry Dresden as well as his new apprentice, Molly Carpenter, mean to end the havoc caused by a mad sorcerer, one whose ambitions would have the streets of Chicago carved out as his own personal kingdom. however when the magical upstart enters into an alliance with the notorious mob manager “Gentleman Johnnie” Marcone, will the fast-and-loose Dresden as well as his young fee make it through unscathed?

Jim Butcher says, “So numerous stories go with my head when I’m building the Dresden files universe, however fairly few of them really make it into the novels. some of them are as well short. Some are as well long, or as well involved, or (shudder) as well preachy. some of them just aren’t well suited to the written word, however would make tremendously fun visual pieces. That’s what’s in action here: Down town is one of the stories of Harry as well as Molly’s connection during her tumultuous apprenticeship, as well as gets to showcase some aspects of what both of them are getting out of it. We get to see a villain that most likely wouldn’t have been suitable for the novels, however who will offer a fun bit of story, particularly for fans of Harry as well as Molly.”

“I’m beyond thrilled to have the possibility to assist Jim Butcher weave the amazing tapestry that is the world of Harry Dresden,” says series co-writer mark Powers. “Down town will provide readers an comprehensive look at a previously-only-glimpsed area of Harry’s world — a not-altogether enjoyable one, either!”

“This will be the third original Dresden files graphic book story from Dynamite,” says series editor rich Young, “The first, Ghoul Goblin, took location between trick Moon (Book 2) as well as serious Peril (Book 3). war Cry took location between Dead beat (Book 7) as well as Proven Guilty (Book 8). Our new Down town takes location between the events in White Knight (Book 9) as well as little favor (Book 10). I like the truth that Jim is jumping around the novels’ timeline as well as filling in with these new stories that truly add to the lore of The Dresden Files. Plus, you get to visually see all these excellent different characters as well as environments come to life that you’ve been reading about, if you’re a fan of the books. It’s rather a treat!”
