May 06, 2026Royals #2 picks up right where Royals #1 left off and gives us a great look at the dynamic between the Wahng brothers. This series feels like a new and creative way to look at a style of story that has been told before. This series feels like a well-researched thesis. Every character feels fleshed out, multi-dimensional, and unique. This was a perfect second issue from this creative team after such a good debut issue. Read Full Review

Fanlight Zone - Richard Coryell
May 06, 2026Royals #2 continues the fun while adding more to the underlying serious plot. As the story flushes out more it gives the series better direction and a plot that you can follow. It does all of this while still keeping the fun and humor that make this story so entertaining. Add to that some great pop culture easter eggs and you have a fun joy ride of a series. This should certainly be on your list of books to pick up at the shop this week, as well as adding it to your Pull List as well. Read Full Review

May 06, 2026Issue #2 of Royals is high-energy entertainment that I thoroughly enjoyed for its blend of action, crime-caper, and slapstick comedy themes wrapped up in brotherly love (and hate). Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
May 06, 2026The second issue shows once again that there's a lot of room for growth and potential with these two characters. The brothers are moving through something much more complicated than psychically enhanced and augmented poker. What they're going to be doing next is going to be something that further defines the way the series approaches the unique neurological situation of the twins. There's a lot of potential in that power and it's a very earthbound power that holds a lot of dramatic and emotional potential. It's something that goes it further into the human side of superpowers than most superhero comic books. Read Full Review
