• Rivers of London – The Fey and the Furious

  I want to start this review with my congratulations on the pun title, great work, now stop it or I’m calling the police. This story’s only missing a Vin Diesel character to be The Fast and the Furious with fairies and I love it. Ben Aaronovitch’s False Value era of Rivers of London has always…

• Rivers of London – Action at a Distance

  Action at a Distance finally gives Thomas Nightingale the spotlight he has deserved for years, and honestly it is long overdue. Peter Grant may be the heart of the Rivers of London series, but Nightingale has always been one of the most fascinating characters in the entire franchise. The last officially sanctioned wizard in England…

• Rivers of London – Water Weed

  Ben Aaronovitch’s Water Weed is probably the most divisive of the Rivers of London graphic novels so far. On the one hand it continues the series tradition of delivering witty supernatural police procedural storytelling wrapped up in excellent artwork and deeply entertaining worldbuilding. On the other hand it also leans far too heavily into sexualised…

• Rivers of London – Cry Fox

  Cry Fox is probably the darkest and strangest of the Rivers of London graphic novels so far, blending folklore, horror, magical conspiracy, and outright human depravity into a story that feels considerably more unsettling than earlier comic outings. Co-written with Andrew Cartmel, the story follows Peter Grant and the Folly as a kidnapping investigation spirals…

Co-written with Andrew Cartmel, this collection takes a slightly different approach from earlier volumes by splitting the focus across multiple shorter investigations rather than presenting one large central case. The…

• Rivers of London – Black Mould

  Ben Aaronovitch’s Black Mould is another highly entertaining entry in the Rivers of London graphic novels series, once again proving that the world of Peter Grant adapts remarkably well to comics. Co-written with Andrew Cartmel, this particular story leans more heavily into horror than some previous outings, taking something as mundane as household mould and…

• Rivers of London – Night Witch

  Ben Aaronovitch’s Night Witch is the second major graphic novel outing for the Rivers of London series, and much like Body Work before it, it succeeds by understanding exactly what readers enjoy about Peter Grant’s world. Co-written with Andrew Cartmel, the story blends urban fantasy, police procedural chaos, and strange folklore into another entertaining supernatural…

• Rivers of London Graphic Novels

  The Rivers of London graphic novels bring Ben Aaronovitch’s supernatural detective stories to life with vibrant visuals. Following PC Peter Grant and his quirky magical mates, the series blends urban fantasy and British wit, while exploring London’s hidden magic. They expand on the original tales with more mysteries and mad adventures.

• Rivers of London – Body Work

  Ever wonder what would happen if Christine ended up in a breakers yard? Ever wondered just how Constable Guleed got involved with the Folly (or “weird bollocks” as our friend DCI Alexander Seawoll would say)? Well wonder no longer for all this and more is in Rivers of London: Body Work. Ben Aaronovitch’s Body Work…
