Rivers of London, the comic

[shapinglight]

So, anyone else read this? Wanna talk about it?

ETA: if the answer is a resounding silence, I'll be back later to witter on more about it behind a cut in a desperate attempt to drum up interest.

I did not know there was a comic!?!!

M'kay - I can download onto my iPad, so I'm reading it now. :)

Only two issues (of five) so far, but it's such fun.

Art's okay (though Peter doesn't look quite how I picture him), plus it has the books' trademark deadpan police humour, and eye-rolling references to boring procedural stuff.

Can't wait for no 3.

I enjoyed it - the second one is far too short though.

I know what you mean about the drawings. I quite like Peter but I'm not sure Nightingale is quite as I pictured him. I do like Beverley Brook although I imagined her hair a lot longer than shown.

Plot is good so far - I want them all now!!

[shapinglight]

Me too!

Artwise, I don't think Nightingale looks quite old enough. I thought Molly was really good, though. Also, I love Peter's guide to the London boroughs at the end. Did you read them?

[kazzy-cee.livejournal.com]

Yes I liked the extras and Molly was just right. I also liked Toby ;)

[shapinglight]

Yeah, I'm not much of a dog person, not at all. But I do like Toby.

I like that the comic just references stuff from the books as if you should just know. And uses some of the more minor characters.

There's a comic? I'll have to hunt it up!

It's by Titan comics, which are a British company, I believe. Or based here.

Anyway, it's good. A nice addition to the series (and from the way it read, mostly Ben Aaronovitch's own work).

I didn't know there was a comic *makes a note to ask at the newsagents* Thanks.

[shapinglight]

I don't know if it would be available at a newsagents, Maz. It's possible, I guess. The publishers do Doctor Who comics, which I'm sure I've seen in WH Smith. Kazzy bought it online and read it on her iPad.

Anyway, the publisher is Titan Comics.
