In his most ambitious and most personal project to date, JEFF LEMIRE spins the captivating and engaging story of a family from the small factory town of ROYAL CITY and the ghosts that haunt them. In a return to the literary and thematic territory of Lemire's breakthrough graphic novel ESSEX COUNTY, ROYAL CITY follows Patrick Pike, a fading literary star who reluctantly returns to the once-thriving factory town where he grew up. Patrick is quickly drawn back into the dramas of his two adult siblings, his overbearing Mother and his brow beaten Father, all of whom are still haunted by different versions of his youngest brother, Tommy, who drowned decades ago. As each member of the family struggles to keep themselves above water, it quickly becomes clear that Tommy's death isn't the only dark secret tearing the town, and this family, apart at the seams. Can each member of the Pike family come to terms with their own guilt over Tommy's death, and make peace with the many versions of Tommy that still haunt them, or will they all be dragged down below the river along with his lingering ghost? ROYAL CITY promises to be a sprawling, serialized graphic novel that will chart the lives, loves and losses of a troubled family and a vanishing town, across three decades. Jeff Lemire is the creator of DESCENDER (with DUSTIN NGUYEN), AD: AFTER DEATH (with SCOTT SNYDER), ROUGHNECK, SECRET PATH (with Gord Downie), PLUTONA (with EMI LENNOX), ESSEX COUNTY, SWEET TOOTH, TRILLIUM, and THE UNDERWATER WELDER. He had also written celebrated stories featuring Green Arrow, Animal Man, Bloodshot, Wolverine, Hawkeye, Teen Titans, the Valiant, the X-Men and Inhumans for the major comic book publishers.

Space Terrorists! Boo. But aren't we all terrorists to someone? Yay.Also, Rayner is (to me) the blandest of the Lanterns.This was a weird go-nowhere sort of story about the corruption of religion, the evils of capitalism, and the horrors of waging revolution and losing your soul.The short version is that no one is the bad guy and everyone is the bad guy.The longer version is that Kyle gets forcibly recruited into a terrorist organization that calls themselves The Omega Men (<--a religious reference to one of their gods), and ends up doing spoilery stuff with them after they supposedly cut his throat on live space tv.It's pretty thinly veiled to mirror real-world happenings. And the point King ultimately makes is that to overthrow a cruel government the leaders of the insurgency end up becoming exactly what they fought against in the first place. History repeats itself over and over again.Not every story needs to be uplifting, but this one kind of makes you feel as though there is really no point in bothering to try and change things for the better. Which is and isn't true.The fight to make things better will never end, simply because the personality type of the people who want to be in charge just lends itself to corruption. Plus, there will always be greedy selfish people. So even if things change for the better, once those better people are in control, they either become corrupted or are overthrown by someone who is corrupt.And the cycle starts again.That doesn't mean you need to roll over and take evil shit because it's meaningless to fight.It just means you need to understand that there's never going to be a point that you won't need to stand up and be willing to push back against injustice.
