London’s only trainee wizard cop, PC Peter Grant, has faced many strange and unusual foes, but confronting a sentient, vengeful black mould in the guise a form jazz musician?
That has to be a new one!
There’s a mould problem in South London. Not the usual stuff that smells funny and can be hell on the lungs. This mould is possessed by some dark power full of bad intentions and it’s another case for London’s one and only trainee wizard cop, PC Peter Grant!
The building seen near the end of the last issue of Rivers of London: Black Mould seems to have more history than I would have suspected. While I won’t spoil the surprises, there is a lot of them and writer Ben Aaronovitch delivers. Yet, there still are so many unanswered questions remain. What is the source of the sinister mould? Who is creating it? I want to know!
The realistic art style by Lee Sullivan continues, only with a supernatural edge. While this issue shows a little more of a “normal” life. It’s a nice contrast and is a clear building point in the plot before issue three is released. I’m curious to see how the artist deals with the unanswered questions and how that might impact the art.

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.
