Royals #9

Ewing and company have really nailed it with this issue of Royals. It was genuinely enjoyable and compelling. Hopefully, they can keep it up from here. Nine issues in, and Im fully on-board. Give it a read. Read Full Review

It's almost Kirby-esque in how colorful and complex these cosmic layouts are. That alone makes it worthy of the Legacy banner. Read Full Review

I'm loving the outcry from readers about a woman taking a second lover after being separated from her polygamous husband. The World Farm and the world building of the Kree and Inhumans origins in this story is topnotch. I cannot wait for the next issue.

I wish Rodriguez had been on from the start, wow.

Great job. Loved this book and the look of it is pure cosmic Inhumans. Ewing tells a great mystery with Javier Rodriguez illustrating it in such a beautiful manner. Still unsure about Medusa and Gorgon but can see how it would happen given how things have been going for years.

I hope Rodriguez never stops drawing this story. The Progenitor planet looks trippy and weird, and the set up here is incredible. I still don't understand what future Maximus is up to, nor do I enjoy Medusa/Gorgon.

A solid start to the new "Fire From Heaven" story arc. Al Ewing has been creating something really special with his Royals run, and it seems we're getting clise to a big payoff with the Progenitors.

The Gordusa romance speeds forward, Flint deals with a crazy powerup, and the Royals dive headfirst into wild Progenitor hijinks. While I begrudge the attention given to the romantic pairing, it's not because I think I know the characters better than Al Ewing. He does a good-to-great job of justifying their feelings here (though it's also clear the relationship will have some weighty plot purpose later on). It's simply that there's fascinating high-concept cosmic stuff happening that deserves more attention. Javier Rodríguez delivers some smashing great vistas that ring the Kirby bell in a wholly positive way, but he also does some complex and subtly tricky layouts. This matches the puzzlebox feel of the Progenitor plot very nicely.

Gorgon/Medusa rationalization/fornication is wrong but otherwise the story was okay for a change with more advancement than previously.
