Just finished Compendium 1 and it was absolutely all the things. I related all over it, and my heart broke at least once in every chapter. Staying keenly tuned for more.
I loved the original series but felt that the ending was abrupt and maybe rushed. When I heard it was coming back, my first question was playlists! Excited to know they are returning. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing a bit of your musical tastes and seeing where ours meet. We are the same age, but from different countries. So seeing the overlap and what may have passed me by, as a music snob, was quite a joy. Thanks for bringing it back Jeff. I don't shy away from telling anyone and everyone that you're my favorite writer.
I was bummed when the original Royal City ended. I am very glad to find out this is coming back. I always enjoy any series that has Jeff attached to it. But the ones I like the most are the ones that Jeff writes and draws. They seem more "important" in that Jeff is poring more of himself into them. This was especially true of Royal City. Bravo for bringing that story back to us!
Can't wait for this, Jeff! Thank you for bringing back some of the process updates for this project. Royal City and it's raw human story is unique and personal for me and many others who have been through hard times. Much appreciated for all you do bringing these types of stories to light!
What a coincidence! All of the original issues just arrived today via UPS from my comics seller. Reading Fishflies made me think that I needed this older series.

So excited for this to come back. I have the OA for page 1 of issue 8 hanging in my living room!
Oh and if you haven't picked up the deluxe hardcover I highly recommend you do so, its gorgeous!
Cannot wait for this! Love this book and its characters. A few pages adorn my walls too! This is quintessential Lemire IMO. (Go Leafs!)
Super excited! One of my all time favorites.
Hooray for more Royal City...and for Jeff taking the time share it with us here, too! Cheers!!

Definitely would like to see more of your process.
