You'd better not call it feminist, Carmen, you'll scare people off. I'm seriously over the moon on how many feminist graphic novels are being published nowadays. "Did you seriously pack candy and drugs for dinner?" This review was originally posted on Thoughts on Tomes Unless you, like me, go into it knowing the experience is going to end earlier than it should. So while I adore this series, and plan to read those first few volumes, I ultimately know I will not be continuing and can't really recommend it to others based on that. Which is such a shame, as it had so much promise and I would have gladly continued if the co-creator did not return. I'm wondering if the backlash caused this series to flounder. Now, as of late 2016, the series is going on a print hiatus and will only be a webcomic for a while. If you want to know more about this in detail, this article goes into all of it. Unfortunately, I will not be continuing this series after Volume 3 due to choices made by the creative team to welcome back the co-creator (who was arrested for domestic violence), after they had told the female artist that he would not be coming back and that she would be the artist moving forward. I was so excited to learn more of their backstories and see what else this series has to offer. They are all quick witted, funny, and unique. The Rat Queens are a varied band, with women of all sizes, races, and sexualities. Even if you aren't an RPG player, this series has so much for everyone.
It's as if the series is winking and nodding to RPG fans. This is going to be a great series for fans of RPGs, as there are so many references to video game and D&D mechanics. This is such a fun graphic novel series! Rat Queens follows a band of all lady Dungeons and Dragons-type adventurers who fight monsters, make trouble, and frequent the pub.

If you're interested in buying Rat Queens, Vol. Overall, this was an awesome, addicting graphic novel with phenomenal artwork. I really hope we’ll get more background on her and the rest of the Rat Queens. The interactions between them all were incredible (Dee is definitely my favorite). In this volume we follow a group of booze-guzzling, death-dealing battle maidens-for-hire, and they're in the business of killing all god's creatures for profit. There was humor, badassery, lots of adventures, and the commentary was outstanding.
I really enjoyed the time I spent reading it. This graphic novel had me from the start with the name, the logo, and the concept. I was a little hesitant going into this one, but I needn't have worried because Rat Queens was exactly what I was looking for after finishing Blue Lily, Lily Blue.
