First off:  I haven't read many comic books since I grew up,
something like 60 years ago.  And I don't care for them.  I
did read a lot of them when I was young.  Partly because that
was what we had where we lived.

That being said, I tried one of the Rivers of London
comic books, and didn't care for it.  I have tried to read
it 2 or 3 times, and just can't get into it.  Not having
read them does mean that I don't get some of the comments
that are scattered through the books.
