Holy Moly! What did I just read? Rat Queens follows a band of all lady Dungeons and Dragons-type adventurers who fight monsters, make trouble, and frequent the pub. In other words: these ladies kick ass and are seriously sassy. And they seem like real, diverse ladies who genuinely care about each other too.

Rat Queens is funny, irreverent, bloody and full of wit (and definitively not for kids).

I would have given this five stars but Gary totally ruined it. ( )

This was pretty good, styled like the adventures of a standard DnD party, but seen from inside of the setting (though with a much greater focus on women and their agency than I'd expect from a DnD group...)

A bit gratuitous in a way that dated it oddly; I kinda guessed the comic was written around 2013 by a dude, or 2020 by a trans woman and... that was kind of a fun moment.

Silly, fun, crass. It's got a bit of everything and it's pretty good. ( )

Having just read this, I am now 200% happier and grinning like a loon. This book is the piss-funny love child of Dungeons-and-Dragons and Buffy the Vampire Slayer that you never knew you wanted UNTIL YOU READ THAT. Don't take it seriously, just lay back and let the blood- and booze-soaked hilarity wash away your cares. ( )

This was a lot of fun! If, you know, something I need to keep out of the reach of the kids.
