Jace reviews Royals #1 from Image Comics, written by Derek Kirk Kim with art by Jacob Perez. The episode covers the introduction of brothers Castor and Paul, their psychic connection used to gain an advantage in televised poker tournaments, and the early setup involving a high-stakes game against casino owner Dasham Kang. The discussion also touches on the character dynamics between the brothers, the use of telepathic communication, the poker sequences that drive the issue's tension, and the implications of their actions as the story begins to expand into a larger crime narrative.
