Word! Welcome to the Jungle was awesome; I never bothered with the adaptations, but I'll be picking this up for sure. Might wait for the trade, but either way it will be mine.
"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

However, as a fellow holder-outer, I can vouch for that link. In fact, here you go: http://www.newsarama...oul-goblin.html

Not sure if I can trust anyone's links in this sub... If you steer me wrong, I will find you, Salt-Man Z you have been warned
EDIT: The link was legit.

I'd be happy to inspect all of Abyss' links for you--for a small one-time fee...

I'm not going to fake anyone out. Either you choose to embrace the preread or you don't. It's a free will thing.

I can't believe I wasted such a perfect moment to Rickroll someboday.

Aynbody?...Bueller?
I ordered the hardcover with the last of my Christmas money. Hopefully it'll be here in the next week or so and I can report back to y'all.

I added it to my wishlist. I love the one star reviews claiming they were tricked by Amazon into buying a comic.
Heh... Loving a series and not doing the research can backfire.
I shamefully admit i was 'tricked' by Amazon into buying BONE 2 thinking it was a comic and it turned out to be a children's novel.

Be thankful it wasn't an "adult" novel!

That would have been an improvement.

Read this over the weekend after rereading Welcome to the Jungle.
Ghoul Goblin takes place immediately after Fool Moon, and sees Harry leave Chicago to take a case involving a family curse. The writing credits simply say "Jim Butcher & Mark Powers", so I have no idea how much of this is strictly Butcher and how much is not. The narration and dialogue nails Harry's voice, but it doesn't have the same memorable lines that WttJ did. But it's a meatier story than the previous one, spanning 6 issues instead of 4, so it feels more involved. Unfortunately, the ending seems a bit rushed, with an almost-literal deus ex machina coming out of left field. I really dig Joseph Cooper's take on Harry; he's a little more cartoony and simultaneously less comic-booky than Ardian Syaf's version from WttJ; lankier, and more goofy and vulnerable. If I had to pick a favorite I could go either way, but gun to my head I'd probably have to go with Cooper. The only hitch in the artwork (at least compared to WttJ) is that it has a very rough, unfinished feeling. There's no inker credited, so I'm assuming we're just looking at Cooper's finished pencils. The coloring is glorious, though. Overall, it's a Harry Dresden story, which automatically means I enjoyed it, and I think I like it better having gotten to ponder it for a couple of days. I'm not sure it's worth the $25 cover price for the hardcover version, but you can find it cheaper online (I got mine for $14 plus shipping.) One thing the hardcover has going for it is (what I assume to be) a faux-leather finish, plus Butcher's original outline for the story; it's interesting to see the deviations the finished product took from the original write-up.

Read it, enjoyable but it clearly does not have a perfect grasp of the dresden universe in my opinion. Its all over too quickly as well but hopefully its the start of more. I know they did fool moon as well.
