Creator Commentary from Jim Butcher " The greatest frustration about writing the Dresden Files is all the stories I come up with that are too small or too straightforward to write into a novel One of the great pleasures I&ve had as a writer is getting the opportunity to tell some of those stories in a short-story format & in graphic novels like this one! War Cry is one of the stories I always wanted to tell but never got the chance to in the context of the novels & I&m extremely pleased with how well it&s coming out"
