Basic Plot: Business owners are being whacked by a mysterious, supernatural beastie, and it's up to Harry Dresden to figure out who did it and stop the big bad before more people die.

I've reviewed the entire graphic novel instead of reviewing each individual issue.

Johnny Marcone "The Golem's master has abducted a citizen under my protection. As Baron of Chicago, I have as much right as you to DEFEND its people."

Harry's plan to track the Golem bit to its main mass and Master hit a snag when Johnny Marcone interferes and ends up accompanying Harry, Molly and Mouse to the Undertown. Things go as well as expected, with Harry having to save Marcone. I'm a little worried that the main baddie seems too much of a crazy caricature of a villain, he needs more character development for this to work. The art is gorgeous, as expected but we'll need more villain backbone if this is to be great.
