Rivers of London Vol. 1: Body Work by Ben Aaronovitch
4.0
A fun graphic adaptation of a series I’m quite fond of.
I thought some of the artwork was a tad awkward (for example, peter looks like he’s doing a flying disco move when he and Guleed leap away from the car that’s trying to kill them in the junkyard.) I also thought some of the panels / scenes were repeated unnecessarily. Why, for example, do we waste space showing the paisley-scarf chase scene twice?)
But these are tiny tiny glitches in what’s overall a delightful story. I adored the mini-stories at the very end, especially “Urgent Summons.” SO GOOD
