Is This the Crime Comic of the Year? | Royals #1-2 Interview

from The Comic Source Podcast · host The Comic Source

Derek Kirk Kim and Jacob Perez join Jace to talk about Royals #1-2 from Image Comics. The conversation covers the series' crime noir setup, the telepathic connection between twin brothers Paul and Castor, the poker tension that kicks the story into motion, and how the book quickly escalates beyond its opening premise. Derek and Jacob also discuss how the series came together, Jacob's transition into sequential comics, the visual energy of the book, the Seoul setting, lettering, thought balloons, color choices, the response to issue #1 selling out, the second printing, and why Royals feels so cinematic on the page.
