Eisner Award-winning writer Derek Kirk Kim (The Last Mermaid, Same Difference) and rising star artist Jacob Perez (Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) invite you to the shadowy back alleys of Seoul, South Korea, for a thrilling, mind-bending crime caper unlike any other in, Royals. This six issue miniseries is set to launch in April from Image Comics.
“Royals is my love letter to crime caper and action comedy classics like Baby Driver, Rounders, and Jackie Chan films. Filter them through the panel gutters of great crime comics like Criminal and Stray Bullets, and you have Royals,” said Kim. “And at the heart of it all, there’s the love/hate tug-of-war between two brothers which anyone with siblings can relate to, I think. All crystalized through the magnificent pen of Jacob Perez! It’s my incredible honor to be tagging along on Jacob’s comic debut, a prodigious talent who is sure to go down in comics history as one of the all-time greats. I am SO excited for comics fans to discover his work!”
Twin brothers Paul and Castor have crafted the perfect poker hustle using their uncanny telepathic connection. But they might have finally met their match when they risk it all against the leader of the Bloody Cocks, the most ruthless criminal syndicate in Seoul.
