Royal City #10

Jeff Lemire's deeply personal series continues with this tenth issue, and the cover alone carries a quiet emotional weight that's hard to shake — a blond figure lies face-down, arms spread wide, on what appears to be a frozen or snow-covered surface, their hair drifting as though caught in a faint wind. Lemire's signature watercolor-inflected linework gives the image a raw, mournful stillness that perfectly captures Royal City's themes of loss and memory. If you've been following this series, issue #10 is exactly the kind of chapter you don't want to miss.
