"Alright, you demonic screwheads, listen up! This… is my BOOMSTICK!"
So yeah, I'm a big fan of The Dresden Files. I like an urban fantasy series with snarky heroes, epic battles, a magic system that makes sense, agnostic Knight Templars, scary vampires, and a zombie T. Rex. And something tells me that Harry is about to kick some ass for someone he truly treasures, considering that's Amorrachius at his side…
And if you don't know what The Dresden Files are, it's an urban fantasy detective series about a wizard named Harry Dresden living in Chicago and his never-ending battle against the forces of darkness and his landlord. Those of you who have read Changes get that joke. The rest of you don't. Seriously, go check it out. And check out Jim Butcher's other series, Codex Alera. It has magical Romans with elemental spirits battling wolfmen and yeti and the Tyrranids. Seriously.
And yes, I know he doesn't wear the hat. Shut up, hats are cool. And he wears it so well.
Jay is mine, bitches.

Okay, there are four ways to experience The Dresden Files. Actually, five, but the fifth ties into the first. *deep breath*
First, the books. They can probably be picked up at pretty much any bookstore, and the first book is Storm Front. A full list of all the books is easily findable on Wikipedia, but just warning you, the thirteenth book in the series is only about a month away, and we're roughly halfway through the story the author is intending to tell, so there's a lot to get through.
Second, the comic books. There are only… um, two or so books adapted, so it won't last you long, but they're a pretty faithful adaptation of the books.
Third, the audio-books. You can do this if you want, and they are nice to listen to: James Marsters, aka Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, narrates them, and does a good job. They are expensive, however.
Fourth, the TV series. Sci-Fi did a single season of The Dresden Files before canceling it. This isn't really the best way to get into the series, because it's not strictly an adaptation of the story: it concerns similar characters and situations, but it is wholly it's own universe, per word of god. Check it out if you want to, but it won't really help tell the main story. It's not on the air anymore, so you'll have to search out the DVD set.
Fifth, the RPG. Yes, there is a Dresden Files RPG, published by Evil Hat Productions. It is two textbooks of awesome and funny, and is not only a cool game, but also a fairly exhaustive encyclopedia on the series as a whole, at least up until the events of Small Favor (book 10). So, do this, but only in addition to the book series.
Hopefully that all helps.

By Tiamat's hat rack, that's a ton of info I need to absorb. Thirteen books of literature, two graphic novels, and two compendiums worth of rpg goodness? That'd keep me busy for almost the remainder of the year if not into the full extent of 2012.... Rest assured though, I'll still check em out. Thanks for the heads up on this.
