Dabel Brothers / Marvel / Del Rey / DRESDEN FILES COMIC!

I could have sworn someone said that Dabel Brothers was bought by Marvel -- is that right? Because there's something on their website about them signing a distribution deal with Del Rey. So now I'm confused because I know nothing of these comic things. Not that it makes much difference to me.

I just found out that Jim Butcher is writing Dresden Files comics now!!11!oneone!!!

The first four issues will be a prequel to the first book, Storm Front. I'm really excited about all this since it's actually written by Butcher, unlike the TV show that I tend to block out forget even exists.

Issue #1 of "Welcome to the Jungle" is due out in April, which of course, coincides with the next Dresden Files book, Small Favor.

I've wanted a copy of the audiobook of some of the Dresden Files books since I found out that James Marsters (Spike) is the narrator for them, but they're more than I can justify spending ($30-50). Also, I've only seen that there are audiobooks available for books 1-4 (of which I think I would only really want book 3). But now they're returning with Small Favor (book 10). I'd really love to hear books 7-9 recorded as well. Those were probably my favorites.

April is so far away! =(

[edit: Just watched an interview of Butcher from a year or two ago where he names Lois McMaster Bujold, John Ringo, and David Weber among his top authors to read. It makes me happy to know that one of my favorite writers also reads some of my other favorite writers. *squee~!*]
