    A promising start to this arc, albeit one that may confuse completely new readers. The things that make PC Grant and Nightingale such interesting characters are barely glimpsed here, which is a shame, but hopefully that's because now the back story and the characters have been established the main story can push on.

    Authors Ben Aaronovitch & Andrew Cartmel have penned an interesting debut issue, but in a way the story feels a bit convoluted and rushed " as if they wanted to push as many plot points into the first stanza as possible. I have faith that future installments will run smoother and more focused, based on Aaronovitch's previous work. Artist Lee Sullivan does a nice job, drawing realistic landscape backdrops thataccentuate the characters effectively. A decent start to which I know will be an exciting series. Read Full Review

    There was a enough entertainment in this first issue with great art to interest me in staying on board and see what happens in the next issue of Rivers of London: Night Witches. Read Full Review

    Not bad, but it was sometimes difficult to wonder who was who - and what was going on. I just hope this isn't going to go off on an anti-Putin job...
