Other Jimness > Darkest Hours
Advice for the Newbie
Dresden:
I've only ever seen the movies but my favourite villian has to be Venom they should have concentrated on him more in Spider-Man 3 then the Sandman.
I haven't read The Darkest Hour yet but I'm ordering it next week and can't wait to read it.

In fact, Harry is snarky in the exact same way Spider-Man is in the comics. In one of the Dresden books, Harry even makes mention that he is a follower of "the Tao of Peter Parker."

OMG, a dead thread! We've gotta save it! Gimme 50 cc's of adrenaline, stat! OK, gimme those paddles... CLEAR!!!! *bzzzt*
OK, we've got a pulse. Whew, that was close. :)
Ahem. Yes, Harry and Spidey are similar. Jim has mentioned several times that he grew up as a big Spidey fan, so the homage Harry pays to Peter Parker is not at all surprising. It also explains why Jim jumped at the chance to write this novel, when really he was far too busy to do it.

I'm going to try and revive it now. I ordered this from Amazon but it haven't received it yet :( but can't wait to read it. I watched the Spiderman animated series on Fox years ago and loved Spidey's quips. The movies definitely dumb down his cockiness (especially that singing/dancing scene). I never was into comics but the Dresden comic series dragged me in and I have some Spiderman, X-Men, and Batman graphic novels/comics on the way. It would be nice to see Jim write for Marvel for at least a series b/c his writing style would fit perfectly for a Spiderman comic.
Still can't believe no one has posted since last December.
