Rat Queens, Vol. 2: The Far Reaching Tentacles of N'Rygoth

Alla som gillar fantasy och serier borde läsa Rat Queens! ( )

Continues to be a DnD -ish delight -- crass, vulgar, full of booze, sex and violence -- highly entertaining, and I'm enjoying getting to see some of the back stories. ( )

A really satisfying pay-off from the more light-hearted set-up work in the first volume. The characters still feel like themselves (and they still quibble and banter), but the stakes are more personal, the reader gets to know most of them and their pains and traumas more intimately, and even the villain gets a relatable, humanising motivation. Hope it stays this good in future volumes. ( )

Oh! How I love the fight scenes. ( )

I was iffy on the first volume, but this series is quickly winning me over with its engaging characters, who are all given tantalizing flashbacks this go-round. It really helps that Stjepan Šejić takes over the art late in the book, surpassing the high bar already set by Roc Upchurch. I'm putting the rest of the available volumes on hold at the library now.
