Nice and solid. This is along the same vein as the previous two graphic novels, so anyone who liked the first two should get on to reading this one, too.

I like how we get to see how most of the characters look throughout the books. None of them look like I had pictured them, though.

In case it isn’t already obvious, I love this series
📚
When Peter joined the police force he never thought he would need to know the basics of fungus control, but then sentient mould isn’t something that’s typically covered in biology class
📚
I’m addicted to this series, the novels, the novellas, and now the graphic novels too. This is just properly good urban fantasy fun. Hot fuzz meets Harry Potter. I think I’m getting used to reading these in graphic novel form as I enjoyed this more than the previous ones, however I do still prefer the full written version. Quick, fun, light hearted. If you don’t know the series I wouldn’t recommend you start here as you will get lost however if you’re neck deep in this story like me then you have to give it a go. Really liked it. 4/5⭐️

Had some fun moments (such as the reveal of what sort of vehicle Nightingale is hunting down, an appearance of Peter's dad, the reveal of Molly's pajamas, and the general awesomeness of Sahra), but I'm back to the previous complaint that the graphic novel format just doesn't allow for the best parts of the series to shine through.

I continue to be unimpressed with the art, and it loses an extra point in this book for the completely unnecessary and gratuitous female nudity.

One of the things I really like about the PC Peter Grant graphic novels is that DC Guleed gets a lot more screen time in the graphic novels than she does in the books, and we get a bunch of wonderful little interludes with Nightingale.

Very good. I think this arc has really its rhythm. Full incorporation of a wide range of the world's established elements, introduction of some fun new side concepts and characters, and a really interesting story of its own. Great fun.

Why are they dressed like the MiB?
Obviously doesn't go into as much depth as the novels but it's an enjoyable short story which fits well with the themes of the main series.

Another stellar contribution to the "Rivers of London" series. In this graphic novel Peter Grant and Sahra Guleed pursue a magical mold monster intent on exacting revenge against a corrupt property management company

I cannot decide wether I do enjoy reading the novels or the comics better. I am glad that I don't have to and will keep on reading them all.
