Great artwork.

I loved Rat Queen 1-2
I felt in love with this cast of colorful women, and that scenario that looked like a cool half drunk DnD game with your best friend. On top of that, the art was absolutely stunning.
Is it still?
That pile of crap, that is volume 3, is not only really poor from a narrative standpoint, but even the Queens felt off, and it looked like what felt natural before looked like over the top cliché, and vulgar dialogues. So both the plot and characters were off in volume at least the art is glorious.... Nope... That is one of the worst art I have ever seen in a professional publication. I am not only talking about the ability to draw characters, but the lack of background, the poor rendering of the action, that also felt like doodle friends would do in an half drunk DnD game.
I almost stopped the series but I loved 1-2 so much that I bought all of them on amazon, and issue 4 gets way better. Not back to 1-2, but good, so finger crossed!

This one gets an extra star because of Dreadlock's girlfriend, Dwarf-girl's brother and cheering for Bernadette in the next issue.

Gave this comic issue 4 stars because of the cliffhanger ending. That lady is such a (insert b-word here since i don’t wanna cuss) and I hope that assassin gets what’s coming to him/them.

5/5 stars for Rat Queens, Vol. 1: Sass & Sorcery ~
"Who are the Rat Queens? A pack of booze-guzzling, death-dealing battle maidens-for-hire, and they're in the business of killing all god's creatures for profit. It's also a darkly comedic sass-and-sorcery series starring Hannah the Rockabilly Elven Mage, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter, Dee the Atheist Human Cleric and Betty the Hippy Smidgen Thief."
If that description doesn't do anything for you, GTFO, because this badass comic series is for true fantasy/DnD fans.
Heroines with varying strengths and flaws instead of the typical extremes of "good over-the-top-cleavage model" and "evil over-the-top-cleavage model", heroines who get their asses kicked and have to manage to heal themselves instead of shrugging off stabs and arrow wounds like so many other comics/manga, a diverse caste with diverse body sizes (including black people and an Asian chick, for real), an intriguing story full of humor, and great full-color art complete this package. I couldn't ask for more.
Some of the negative reviews I've read are from people who just didn't get the fantasy/DnD references -- such as races, classes, gods, or lame-ass guys summoning lame-ass tentacles -- so it's just a matter of knowing what genre you're getting into here.
And to all the haters of this series, I defer to Hannah ~

Humor, Quests, Drinking, Hang Overs & Attitude - not the typical sword and sandal, AD&D or fantasy trope in Rat Queens. This is rebellion, riot grrl, bar crawl with swords and sorcery. Hank Moody would be impressed with the party prowess of these adventurers. Wiebe makes fantasy foul mouthed and 100 proof. Image comics has another hit on racks and it's definitely not those non-drinking age.
Enjoy with a chaser!

Interesting that Goodreads now lets you add/review comics, not just books. This is another killer monthly from Image, probably top of my "pull" list right now alongside TWD, East of West and Saga. Oh, and I love Betty.

Some character development and another drink recipe.
More adventure please! And less heart broken Betty...

Betty is pulling up the rear with the badassness! I'm loving the direction this is going. Still laughing at "39" being considered old.
