The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Government involvement *spoiler*
Simon Hogwood:
Personally I thought they resembled nobody as much as the Monster Control Bureau from the Monster Hunter International series, but I might just still be disappointed that there wasn't an obvious Dresden reference it Jim's Monster Hunter Files story.

I might be speaking blasphemy here, but I really didn't like Dog Men.
I didn't like that suddenly Harry has a fiery temper, the story was meant to take place long before he received the Mantle of the Winter Knight but yet here he was getting furiously angry at the drop of a hat.
I also didn't like the government guys and hope they are not intended to represent the 'official' reaction to the supernatural. While a part of me will always been amused by the thought that The Man is incompetent, I prefer that it be kept to the occasional Blues Brothers-style police car pileup. The idea that the width and breadth of the government's task force on monsters is a handful of national guardsmen who walk through the forest shoulder-to-shoulder without even a vague approximation of the right gear for the job.

Lash did kind of amp up his anger, but in the novels he was supposed to have got a handle on that once he realized he was being influenced.

Do you remember the little bit of sunshine in Molly's face, or Harry slagging the trash can?
If you'll remember, Harry had been having significant anger issues since he picked up Lasciel's coin. I don't know where 'Dog Men' falls in the timeline, but even without that issue, he's always had a bit of a temper.
Griffyn612:
The timeline on the site puts Wild Card between White Night and Turn Coat, which means the imprint that was amplifying his anger should be gone.
But I got the impression that Harry was angry in DoM because of the events in WC, and that he was dealing with the fallout from Puck. That his encounter with Puck was seriously impactful to his psyche.
It doesn't fit all that well with the books, but it's not impossible. When we see him in SmF, he's dealing with the guilt over Lash.
From a story arc perspective, if DT was 2/08, WC was 4/08, and DoM was 6/08, then they could have another comic set in 8/08 that would let him come to terms with all those events before SmF in 11/08. But he'd need closure on Puck, to explain his lack of fixation in SmF.
