Oh Rat Queens, how do I love thee? I've gotta thank the people over at Espionage Cosmetics for sharing a pic of a group cosplaying the Queens last summer 'cause I had somehow missed the boat until then. As soon as I cracked Vol. 1 though I became just as rabid of a fan as the rest of y'all. I immediately went and preordered Vol. 2!I was a little worried with the change in artists that I might not dig the style but Stjepan Sejic slipped in flawlessly. The story of trouble in Palisade continues and it's just as sexy and funny and bloody as ever. Flashbacks to Violet and Hannah's pasts are wonderful glimpses into what makes them tick while a revelation about Dee's is sure to surprise.What continues to wow me about Rat Queens is that it's so wonderfully inclusive and feminist without ever seeming like it's pressing an agenda. I adore the cover of issue 10 so freaking much, way to turn a classic fantasy art trope on its head. The only bummer about this volume was that I'd hoped the Braga one-shot might get included and it was not.If you're new to Rat Queens you've got to read Volume 1 first or you'll be pretty lost in the story. This is a fantastic comic that I recommend Rat Queens time and time again to women who want to read them but aren't sure what's a great place to start. Trust me, this is the one.
The first Volume in the Rat Queens' story was subtitled "Sass and Sorcery", and that title was right on the mark. From page one to the socko ending the book was loaded with funny, creative and engaging attitude, dialogue, and action, paced by a few quiet moments and some suggestive backstory. Just a perfect buddy/action tale that hit all of the right notes.This second volume is very entertaining, but suffers by comparison. Like all middle books in trilogies, here we have to fill in all of those backstories and build a bridge to the ending. We're familiar with the characters and don't get the benefit of the thrill of discovering this new gang. Sometimes the result is just workmanlike instead of energized.Dee, the reformed squid cult member, is the center of the main storyline, and since I've always felt she was the weakest of the four Rat Queen characters that may account for this mild case of the blahs. Betty is way off on the sidelines. Violet's story is sort of odd and predictable. Luckily, Hannah, the conjurer, takes over the story about half way through and she injects the energy, conflict and attitude that picks up the book and drives it home.This volume, importantly, is still wildly beyond anything else I've read recently, and is worth your time and attention. (Although you probably have to have read the first Volume to really enjoy this one.)Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book in exchange for a candid review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.
This trade collects Rat Queens #6-10. There are a lot of layered story threads in Rat Queens. Best to start at the beginning.Continues the momentum built up in volume 1 without missing a beat. There’s a lot of background on the leads here, always relevant to their current character and personality as well as to the ongoing story. Stjephan Sejic joins the art team, and his work is just as perfect for the book as Upchruch’s.The plot pays off some ongoing threads while introducing more (including a big cliffhanger for next volume). However as good as the general story is, the true highlights of Rat Queens are its characters and their development. Despite how awsome everyone is I am developing favorites: Hannah’s proving to be the surprisingly deep enigma I was hoping for, and everything Betty does sends me into a laughing fit. That said I could keep going with similar compliments for just about every single character. The cast is that good.More great stuff. Can’t wait for volume 3.
Certainly a great graphic novel with characters that were immediately beloved after the first volume of comics came out. Volume Two seems to slip due to some changes within the creative team and it shows. The storyline isn't thought out enough and feels a bit rushed. Still fun to see the Queens in action though. Despite a even more lackluster volume 3 (aside from the brilliant artist Tess Fowler) I hope Rat Queens finds its groove again ;)BUT STILL READ IT: please .. This is simply my review and this comic deserves praise despite what I wrote.
The Rat Queens are so much fun to read. The stories are so imaginative and the characters unique. I just got it today and couldn't put it down until I finished. Now I'm just going to have to read it again for fun and maybe again after that.
I'm loving the story development. Each character has an interesting and rather disturbing back story which slowly gets revealed. Each of the Queens is her own person and not just a member of a group that's led by Hannah. Each of the Queen's personalities are vivid and distinct from each other but they come together in a cohesive frenzy of craziness.I love it!!!
The content is amazing. Great art, compelling stories, interesting characters. If you haven't already started, you really need to start reading Rat Queens.The only reason I'm giving four instead of five stars is because I bought the "new" version of the book so I was expecting a good quality copy but mine came with condition issues including dog eared pages and a damaged (bent) front and back cover which was really disappointing. It's not too bad since the cover pricing on this is $14.99 and buying it on saved a few bucks but still.
