The posh/cockney/British urchin slang was cute for a bit but boy does it get a tad grating over the course of four issues.
Being a fan of Sherlock Holmes fan, I was interested in this story of a ragtag group of kids coming together to solve a curious mystery regarding statues coming to life and terrorizing the streets of London. The personalities of the group do round out, but they aren't exactly characters I could find myself really engaging with.
Younger audiences will probably vibe with the art pretty well, though the mystery aspect doesn't really shine through when you're given all the answers without going through much effort for them.
There could have been more here, but that's just coming from an adult reading a children's comic that's supposed to be a bit more fun than thrilling.
