These stories have become moderately dependent upon the previous graphic novels. Previous plots & characters are referenced, although it doesn't break the story if you haven't read them. These are fun little stories to help while away the time between Aaronovitch's Peter Grant novels.
Detective Constable Peter Grant, only one of two in the London magical crimes division of the police department, comes across some marijuana that reeks of magic. Fearing that someone is being kept against their will to produce it, he goes on a hunt after the manufacturer...all while the manufacturer is also hunting down anyone who could provide information to Grant.
I was surprised at the sex scene in this. It was drawn overly-gratuitously. The novels have been less graphic in their descriptions than this. It seemed unnecessary.

Another great RoL story in comic book form. I was a little underwhelmed with the plot until it all resolved - and the reveal was enough to make me read it through a second time to see what I'd missed the first time around. Quite clever for a short comic story, and a nice thing to tide me over until I read Lies Sleeping.

This one is rather good, it does have a plot - what’s more, a plot that holds together! Bonus points: Nightingale with a football scarf :)

Had some fun elements, but not as good as the novels, and I'm still not much of a fan of the art style.

Good fun, as always, though I was a bit nonplussed by the unnecessary nudity.

Peter and Nightingale take on a drug dealer selling magically infused marijuana. Entertaining as always and not to be missed.
