Royal Descent – A Comic Book For The Daily Mail To Get Angry About. Their Readers, Not So Much.

Yesterday, The Daily Mail ran an article about Royal Descent, a new comic book published next week about member of the British Royal Family forced to kill each other to survive. With a cover logo reminiscent of Battle Royale ad comparisons drawn to The Hunger Games. They write;

The first part of the trilogy which will be released next month, has been slammed by comic fans with critics describing its content as 'sick'.

One writer who wished to remain anonymous said: 'There is no way the British people would allow this to happen. Why waste your time on a book that no one wants to read? Horrible idea.'

Another said: 'I hope they lock you up and throw away the key, the worst kind of sensationalist crap!'

"a 'sick' version of the Hunger Game" – You mean to tell me that story where people have to kill each other for the entertainment of others is only classed as sick when members of our royal family are substituted in the place of children?

So watching 'other people' kill each other is entertainment so long as royals are not involved? Weird, royals love hunting and shooting things.

No one cares. Seriously. If you don't like it DM then don't read it. All you're doing here is giving the author the publicity which he is so clearly relying upon for sales
