Thank you @BethM for this interesting Dark magic graphic novel read. While I enjoyed the plot the characters weren‘t really my style? But anyone who enjoys dark noir will like this I think. Kind of read to me like Supernatural. My favorite character is Toby, …and Molly. #lmpbc group g. I will be sending it on to you @phantomx on Monday!
@suvata
I felt lost a solid 80% of the time. The story seemed relatively light on plot. Maybe you only get it if you‘ve read the novels? Meh for me. #lmpbc

Enjoy!
I‘ve got a fun afternoon lined up for myself. 🎃📚🎃
A nice quick addition to the regular series, though i did imagine the chracters completely looking different. Already ordered Volume Two though... 🤓
It‘s very interesting reading this series in graphic novel format after having read all the books! But it still has the same vibe and atmosphere of the books which I was thrilled with.
Not getting on with Spellbound so I‘ve switched it up. Rivers of London awwww yisss. 11 pts for #teamstoker #scarathlon
Good. I liked the artwork and the overall story. Except a) if I hadn‘t read at least the first Rivers of London/Peter Grant novel I wouldn‘t have had a clue what was up with all the magic and the Folly and Nightingale and Molly etc etc etc, so definitely not a GN to just pick up and b) the story felt a bit flat after the denouement of Rivers of London. It was a hell of a story. But I‘d like to pick up the next GN, since I do like this world.
Ordered 2 piles of books. The first set arrived this morning 😁😁 happy wee bookworm!!!
Well that was fun!
“X5. Normally a lovely car...”
This first of four comic book runs that were pubbed between ‘Foxglove Summer‘ and ‘The Hanging Tree‘ features haunted BMWs!
Artwork is great and hews to the novels‘ descriptions. You can also see how DC Sahra Guleed, DI Miriam Stephanopoulos, and PC Peter Grant work *together* (a dynamic that evolves in the GNs to bring the readers to the coherent unit they are in ‘The Hanging Tree‘)
‘The Hanging Tree‘ just mentioned “haunted BMWs” from a prior case which perplexed me. I remember a Classic Jag, a Ford Asbo, and a VW bug taxi from earlier novels but nothing about BMWs, haunted or otherwise. It turns out Ben Aaronovitch slipped in a reference to the first Peter Grant graphic novel, ‘Body Work‘!
Definitely putting the 4 Peter Grant gns on my buy list when I go in on Free Comic Book Day 2018 (#5 pubs in June)

I picked up the first volume of this comic to see if I'd be interested in the novels, and it's a pretty interesting premise. I might grab the novel next time I see it somewhere.
The art in this series is fantastic.
Starting the graphic novel version of this series. Love these books.
Continuing my obsession with this series, I read all three of these yesterday while waiting for my hold on book 6 to come in. The character design is a bit off for me (why is Peter wearing a suit all the time, and why are all the women tiny-waisted and high-heeled?), but the humor is just right.
Continuing on my obsession with the Rivers of London series with today's #bookhaul. Gonna wait to read these graphic novels for two things: the third to be released later this month (pre-ordered woot woot!) and me finishing the last book currently in the series. Don't want it to end! #riversoflondon #benaaronovitch
I did a secret santa exchange with some friends, and received an Amazon gift card... which I used to buy this!! I *love* the Rivers of London books on audio, and I'm super excited to check out the graphic novel companions!!
