Re: Roy of the Rovers coming back?

You should have read to the end. David Sque has drawn a new strip in it.

The whole reboot is extremely well written and plotted out, and the key characters are well-defined. The artwork is a matter of taste, and I like it.

There is a hint on that on the inside front cover of the second Braddock story, to look out in December. Whether it's Ramsey's Raiders, Union Jack Jackson or something else altogether it doesn't say.

Retconning is a portmanteau of retro conversion, and basically means changing the backstory.
