The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Best adaptions of myth and folklore
jonas:
Dresden files as the archetype story, it makes connections to other stories by sheer accident of trying to fit all mythology into one, mythology is the basis of all story realms of course.
The courts combined with Mabs purpose makes a great mirror on Mortal Kombat, what with the war between realities, warriors of fire and ice that are mortal foes, Necromancer trying to gain power by absorbing a bunch of souls. The Merlin/Arthur angle, the TWC/antichrist second coming angle. Doing multiple renditions on apocalypse, ect.
Its... expansive, and not always intentional I think, but always by design lol.

I liked the idea of old gods vs. new gods.
