Marvel’s putting a lot into their Inhumans properties these days, though it’s hard to tell if it’s really connecting or not at this phase, and one of those new things that’s getting underway is an ongoing series called Royals. Taking the family out into space fo an adventure, it comes from writer Al Ewing (The Ultimates, U.S.Avengers) and artist Jonboy Meyers (Teen Titans, Spawn). Ahead of the first issue landing on April 5th, 2017, we now have a look at the finalized cover, some variants, and a few unlettered pages.
Plot concept: Abdicating the throne in the wake of Inhumans vs. X-Men, Marvel’s newest space epic will take the Inhumans to the far reaches of space and beyond! The knowledge they seek about their true origins could change the course of Inhuman destiny, or damn it for all time. They must uncover who they are, if they are to truly unlock who they might be. Now, Black Bolt, Medusa, Crystal, Gorgon, Flint and Swain – along with Marvel Boy as their guide – will blast off on a mission that could mean salvation for their people. But thousands of years from now, when their legend has passed into myth, they’ll say that seven set out on a journey, but only six returned…
Take a plunge into the unknown on April 5th when ROYALS #1 comes to comic shops and digital devices everywhere!
