‘Royals’ Gets Collected As A Trade Paperback By Image Comics

by Olly MacNamee

Writer Derek Kirk Kim (The Last Mermaid, Same Difference) and artist Jacob Perez (Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) are having their Royals miniseries collected in trade paperback this autumn/winter by Image Comics, which gives us an excuse to show a preview for the trade to whet the appetite. But first, the cover and synopsis:

“Set in the shadowy back alleys of Seoul, South Korea, Royals follows twin brothers Paul and Castor who have crafted the perfect poker hustle using their uncanny telepathic connection. Perfect, that is, until they’re caught red-handed by the most ruthless criminal syndicate in Seoul. To pay them back, the brothers must pull off a daring heist and use their gift for something bigger than themselves for the first time in their lives…but only if they don’t wind up killing each other first!”

Kim provided further detail and insight into the Royals story in an in-depth interview with Image Comics’ website.

The Royals trade paperback is out in comic book stores on Wednesday, 11th  November and in book stores on Tuesday, 8th December from Image Comics.
