Rivers of London: Black Mould #1 – Cover A by Claudia Caranfa

Well, all right, that headline’s a bit of a cheat as this was released by Titan Comics on Wednesday, but given the number of former conspirators from my days as editor of Doctor Who Magazine working on this, a plug for this third Rivers of London comic series is definitely required.

Rivers of London: Black Mould #1 is on sale now in all good comic shops, and via ComiXology for digital readers.

It creeps! It crawls! It ooooozes! Something dark and slimy is dripping through the walls of suburban London. Not usually a police matter but there’s something very weird about this mould. Police Constable Peter Grant and his unwilling partner, Sahra Guleed, soon find themselves knee deep in killer muck! Meanwhile, their boss, Thomas Nightingale, is preparing to do battle against a haunted ice cream van. Good times.
