Here’s how “Rex Royd” is described on comiXology:
Meet Rex Royd, the ‘Renaissance Man of Madness’ and CEO of Rexcorp, the company that owns everything, and does anything. He’s a suave super-scientist and keen businessman in a world rife with costumed metahumans… and a desire to reshape the world in his own, better image. He’s also Earth’s antibody against the diseased superheroism of the alien Proteoman… not that he knows it yet. Joined by his comrade in arms, Alan Black, and the mysterious Eve, Rex pushes the boundaries of reality, morality, decency and good taste.
“Rex Royd” ran for several issues in the pages of Mark Millar’s magazine “CLiNT,” which was canceled by Titan in September 2013. To date, the comic remains the sole contribution to the artform by Boyle, who is one of the most prominent – and busy – comedians in the UK. The trade paperback will now add 33 pages worth of additional content, penciled by Dowling and Budi Setiawan, to wrap up Royd’s story. “Rex Royd: The Complete Collection,” which will be 112 pages long in total, will be released by Titan on September 19, and retail at the price of $16.99.
