"Of all the books I have done, this one feels like a failure of sorts. I had huge ambitions for the Royal City series. I wanted it to be a place where I could tell all sorts of stories and a place that I could return to throughout my career, and check in on the characters at different points in their lives. But the truth is, the schedule of trying to write, draw and watercolor paint a monthly comic myself, while also writing all my other series for other artists, was just too much. I can do a lot, but doing that really pushed me to exhaustion and I had to wrap up Royal City sooner than I wanted just to keep my sanity.[80]"

"'When we got together [...] and we cracked open that run in particular, that was when the visuals of the show really crystallized for us [...] The highly formal composition, the bright colors — there's actually a sense of match cutting, so it even informed our editing a little bit. The blending of realities and all of that, that was a big, big part of it. That's why we just obsessed over that run.'"
"'There's obviously a pretty big focus on human emotion in that run in ways that are not kinetic on the page [...] That's why we respected it even more. It's so hard to just have two people in a panel just having an emotional moment, but that was obviously a big inspiration for the show.'"
Extraordinary X-Men, billed as the flagship X-Men title, features a team led by Storm, deals with the fallout of the Terrigen Mist, and launched in November 2015.[45][46] All-New Hawkeye debuted in November 2015, continuing with the story-line established in Lemire's and Pérez's previous run on the title.[47] Old Man Logan launched in January 2016, and features a future version of Wolverine.[48]

"'When we got together [...] and we cracked open that run in particular, that was when the visuals of the show really crystallized for us [...] The highly formal composition, the bright colors — there's actually a sense of match cutting, so it even informed our editing a little bit. The blending of realities and all of that, that was a big, big part of it. That's why we just obsessed over that run.'"
"'There's obviously a pretty big focus on human emotion in that run in ways that are not kinetic on the page [...] That's why we respected it even more. It's so hard to just have two people in a panel just having an emotional moment, but that was obviously a big inspiration for the show.'"
