Well, this was a fun read.
Raven, who was set to inherit her father's pirate empire, has been betrayed by her father and brothers and is now on a mission of revenge. But, before she can do anything, she needs a pirate crew.
Book 1 follows Raven's adventures in putting that crew together and each character she collects is unique, talented, and amusing in their own way.
Though the writer is male, the narrative is very pro-female and even includes jokes about mansplaining, etc, which I found highly entertaining.
In addition to the positive female representation, the ethnic diversity is off the charts. Raven is Asian (Chinese), Jay is black, Sunshine is mixed race, Ximena is Latina, and so on. I didn't find anything in the text that was overtly lesbian (as I usually read lesfic) but there was a hint here and there that it's possible. We'll see.
I'm happy to continue the series.

I LOVED THIS SO MUCH.
What’s not to love about a story about a group of kickass women with brilliant humour, wonderful characters and a fantastic plot?! My only issue with it is that it’s far too short, I WANT MORE.
This was everything I didn’t know I need right now. I’m going to need the next issue asap. (R.I.P my bank account.)

Awesome! Diverse crew of women pirates, seeking revenge. This seems to be aimed at a slightly older audience than Princeless? That one seemed more middle grade, this one seems more teen (there's more violence). I loved the references that I caught (Doctor Who, Avatar, a Kelly Sue DeConnick appearance). I look forward to reading more!

Raven Xingtao, the Black Arrow, is the daughter of the Pirate King, but she was betrayed by her brothers, locked in a tower, and now she seeks revenge and wants to recover what belongs to her by inheritance, her ships and her lands. You see, the title of Pirate Queen of the island of free women was inherited from Raven's ancestors, it always went to the eldest daughter ... until then.
I wonder why this comic has not attracted attention among the fans of Lumberjanes and Rat Queens. I came across it by chance, looking for some pirates for a challenge. Raven the Pirate is a spin-off of Princeless (which I haven't read, but apparently it's intended for a younger audience than Raven's). The concept is the same: that women do not need a man to rescue them, they can do it themselves.
We have diversity ahoy!: race, religion, form and color, sexuality.
I guess I don't have to tell you how strange it is to find a diversity of body shapes graphed that expresses normality in any medium, right? As well as making jokes about the impracticality of a fighter's shortage of clothing. The interview that Raven does when looking at first for a male crew says it all, especially with the guy who expresses her 'study' of oriental culture... well a friend, once told something very similar. Not good.
So parody, fun, and swashbuckling action.
In the end, Raven decides on a female crew based on Katie's D&D group. Then the thief Sunshine, half desert elf. Ximena, cartographer and navigator. And Jayla, scientist and good at blowing things up.
There is a lot of lesbian flirt, and some kisses. And a ...bleg, love triangle, that I hope get resolved quickly.
The backstory are flashback of Raven and dad old times, and Ximena source of descontent. For now, the fantasy elements are few.
Yay for the pirate sisterhood, where the ladies are committed to respecting and listening to each other.

Raven Xingtao , la Flecha Negra, es hija del Rey Pirata, pero fue traicionada por sus hermanos, encerrada en una torre, y ahora busca venganza y quiere recuperar lo que le pertenece por herencia. , sus barcos y sus tierras. Verás, el título de Reina Pirata de la isla de las mujeres libres fue heredado de los antepasados de Raven, siempre fue para la hija mayor ... hasta entonces.
Me pregunto por qué este cómic no ha atraído la atención de los fans de Lumberjanes y Rat Queens. Lo encontré por casualidad, buscando algunos piratas para un desafío de comics. Raven the Pirate es un derivado de Princeless (que no he leído, pero aparentemente está destinado a un público más joven que el de Raven). El concepto es el mismo: que las mujeres no necesitan un hombre para rescatarlas, pueden hacerlo ellas mismas.
Tenemos diversidad: raza, religión, forma y color, sexualidad.
Supongo que no tengo que decirles lo extraño que es encontrar una diversidad de formas corporales graficadas que expresen normalidad en cualquier medio, ¿verdad? Además de hacer bromas sobre la impracticabilidad de la escasez de ropa de un luchador. La entrevista que hace Raven cuando busca en un primer momento a una tripulación masculina lo dice todo, sobre todo con el chico que expresa su 'estudio' de la cultura oriental ... bueno, una amiga contó una vez algo muy parecido. Nada bueno.
Al final, Raven se decide en una tripulación femenina con la base del grupo de D&D de Katie. Luego la ladrona Sunshine, medio elfo del desierto. Ximena, cartógrafa y navegante. Y Jayla, científica y buena para explotar cosas.
Así que parodia, diversión y acción de capa y espada.
Hay mucho coqueteo lésbico y algunos besos. Y un ... bleg, triángulo amoroso, que espero se resuelva rápidamente.
La historia de fondo es vista por flashbacks de los viejos tiempos de Raven y papá, y Ximena fuente de descontento. Por ahora, los elementos de fantasía son pocos.
Yay por la hermandad pirata , donde las damas estan comprometidas a respetarse y escucharse entre ellas.

let me tell you the story of me reading this book friends. so i biked over to my library -- it's on the far-ish side, takes about 20 min at a normal pace -- and when i get there it's 15 minutes to close and i'm a little tired so i figure, hey, why not chill on a couch and read the first chapter or two till closing and then head back home
that is mostly what happened! however, i had failed to account for just how utterly delightful this book is and so when the librarians kicked me out instead of bundling up and biking home i elected to sit on the stone outside the library and read the rest of the book with the occasional break to warm my hands in my pockets before going back to flip pages again
it's was 100% worth it :D
do i even have a favourite character? i'm not sure i do because i am so entirely delighted by all of them! it'd be like asking somebody what do you like better: cheesecake or chocolate? the only possible answer is all of the above
the humour was great, there was a 'not all men' joke and a carrie scene and if you've ever been involved in any kind of social justice discussion on the internet ever you are going to laugh your head off
also i literally clapped my hands in joy at the ship options laid out so far: if you were kind of sad raven's flirting with adrienne didn't go anywhere in princeless don't worry about it, she is def getting a girlfriend here and the only point to which i'm torn is who i want her to date more
basically this is everything anyone could ever want in a comic, if you like pirates! and action! and kickass girls of colour! and excellent flirting! and joy!!!!! come read this, i am officially giving it the Miss Susan Seal of Approval
5 stars

I!! MISSED!! RAVEN!! SO!! MUCH!!
Raven is out to get back at her brothers who manipulated their father to get her locked up in a tower as it is done to 'land princesses'. There's only one thing she lacks to do so — the crew .
And the crew she gets. With many complications on the way, of course, but how else a pirate gets their crew, right? And what a crew it is. I love the main five. We have: A Muscles & D&D Girl, A Blow Shit Up Girl, A Really Fast & Jumpy Dancer, A Girl Who Knows Of Stars And Compasses, and our rightful Pirate Queen — Raven.
I like how the setting of Princeless is so different from our days but it still manages to call out many, many current issues and makes it sound so natural.
Also, t h a t ATLA reference!!!

I cannot thank Jeremy Whitley enough for the spark that has become the Princeless series, through his hard work and the work of all the other talented creators. My favorite part of this book is the series of job interviews Raven holds with men who want to join her crew. Whitley took every stupid thing guys say to women on Twitter and turned it into a scene that had me crying with laughter. My tired feminist heart healed up a little bit reading it.
The only problem with this series is that Whitley can't write it fast enough to keep my household happy.

This book made me so happy. This book was fun and funny and had some of the best references (My Cabbages!). I am really glad that I read this and I feel that it is important that younger women have access to books like this. Seeing Women of Color in leading, action roles in a story is so very profound that it's hard to articulate just what it means.

I literally just finished this first volume and let me just say, I'm so glad I stumbled upon this.
The diversity in this comic is comparable to Rat Queens' (which is one of my all-time favorites comic series), and it's just so so so refreshing. Every single time I get to read something where there are diverse characters (as in Not Just White, Straight, Cis, and Male), I swoon. These girls are AWESOME. This had me at "Pirate Princess" and "All-Girl Pirate Crew". Gosh, so so good. Also, there are "not all men" and "misandry!!!" jokes, topped with call-outs on the fetishization of asian women, fake-geek-girl turned fake-pirate-girl argument, and all around everyday sexism. I'm telling you, this comic is GREAT.
(I'm preemptively tagging this LGBT, but I'm pretty sure I'm right ~)

So hilarious that it made me tentatively over come my dislike of pirates-as-heros. Because I'm not into murdering, kidnapping and stealing as a career choice, but GOODNESS this had a delightful nerdy joke on every page.
December 21, 2017
Oh this was so much fun! And a lot funnier than I expected
April 19, 2016
Just as good as I'd hoped it would be. The tone is a little more mature than in Princeless, which suits the characters. I already liked Raven, and I'm happy to report that I really liked most of the new characters introduced in this book. This is an exposition heavy volume, so it really is just all about Raven putting her crew together. But it's fun and often funny, and it served as a good introduction to what will be the main cast. It's a great addition to the Princeless universe, and I'm excited to see more.
February 16, 2017
Instant happiness, that's what Princeless is. (And somehow, Raven's storyline is even more awesome than Adrienne's!) I'm so glad I found out about this series because it's everything I've ever needed or wanted. I hope it runs for a long long time <3
October 12, 2016
YES. This is what I want! Queer girls having adventures and doing cool shit. I want my ragtag multicultural group of friends to kick ass. I want stuff like this to be as ubiquitous as white men with daddy issues and love at first sight.
January 17, 2016
Such a kick butt girl power series. Love it.
June 19, 2016
I love everything about this book, from the wide variety of characters to the knowing in-jokes (all the male pirate applicants!), to the queer romantic tension. BRILLIANT.

I was super excited about this. I am in utter love with the main Princeless series, and loved Raven from Volume 3. Hey, she's a kick-ass pirate princess of Asian descent. Hell yes.
It looks like Raven: the Pirate Princess is for an older audience than the main Princeless title. The artwork reads older, for one, and the violence is more... it seems silly to say violent, but it's true. It's depicted as actual violence instead of something silly. You sometimes see blood, even.
Also, the jokes are much more nuanced and subtle. And many of them are extremely meta. I mean, there's a "Not All Men" joke that made me fistpunch the air. And a cameo appearance by some of the most famous contemporary women in comics today (hey, G. Willow Wilson! And Kelly Sue! and Marjorie Liu!). In fact, the entire volume seemed to be a tongue-in-cheek nod to some of the things that women have faced in geekdom in the quest for more diversity, representation, and inclusivity.
I loved that Raven continued what started in Princeless, and introduces readers to strong women of all walks of life, backgrounds, and appearance. It's diversity without hitting you over the head with it, which is awesome. Also, the subtle way Whitley handles the reveal that Raven isn't heterosexual is wonderful. It's not a big deal, there isn't a giant OMG reveal, but it's just handled naturally, as a progression of the story. This is how you handle diversity - it's not a big deal to have non-white and non-straight characters in the story because it's not a big deal in real life.
I'm so looking forward to the the next story arc. This is everything right in graphic novels today.

I'm ecstatic Raven has her own series, though I do hope she crosses paths with Adrienne again!
How do I love this graphic novel? Let me count the ways.
-There is a Lesbian WOC Pirate Main Character!
-LOVE TRIANGLE
-Women of different body types, skin colors, interests
-ATLA reference
-Diversity even in the background characters! There's an interracial couple in one scene
-All of the characters are so faceted and are amazing when considered by themselves and better in the group
-The whole scene where men apply to join the crew and cry "misandry" and "reverse sexism" when they aren't chosen is brilliant. It's a summary of every bad cliche interaction with a man I've ever heard. It was amazing and I'm not even salty that this series is written by a man.
I'm reading everything in the Princeless series forever.

Wow! I thought I couldn't love the Princeless universe anymore than I already do, but the spin off is better than the original. It has more girl power, more LGBTQ, more pirates, more girls of color!!! oh the diversity, and the jokes. Oh my gosh. Jeremy Whitley might be the only man on the planet who gets it. Between Sunshine shutting down the "Not all men" guy, to Katie showing the scum bags how to fight with a chair, the casual disdain for mom jokes and body shaming, this book has it all and more. I can't wait to read volume 2 and I am moving this series way up the list on my reading recommends!

An all-female pirate crew full of the most diverse women, with the most varied strengths and interests, learning how to adapt to one another and fighting patriarchy??? Can you hear me screaming?
This series has muscled ladies, science ladies, dancers and half-elf ladies, women of colour, fat, muslim, sapphic and deaf pirate women!!! Honestly just read this you won't regret it.

Princeless: Raven The Pirate Princess Book 1: Captain Raven and the All-Girl Pirate Crew (Princeless Raven Pirate Princess) - Jeremy Whitley
Such fun, every bit as appealing as Princeless, actually more so to me, because as much as I love a good sword fight, a sword fight on a ship is even better An excellent choice if you know a Pirates of the Caribbean fan, although this doesn’t have any horror. I’m curious to see what else spins out of Princeless.

What can I say I love female pirates and this one had such female empowering vibes with all kinds of strong females. Seeing Raven put together an all female crew was a lot of fun. Ive read some of the other Princeless comics, but I think this ones probably my favorite. The art was nice and had a good flow to it, but what really stood out was the awesome female characters and their friendships.
April 6, 2018
I was absolutely glued to this story from page one. Not just for the adventure, but for the characters- Raven's crew getting to know each other... and I laughed out loud at some of the male pirates. Dudebro pirates howling about misandry! Too perfect! Now to get my hands on the next book.
January 23, 2016
Love this series and love the whole idea of an all female pirate crew!

we're back with another episode of "this was recommended to me as f/f, and it's not really f/f at all"
rep: Asian (sapphic?) main character
August 26, 2021
I really really liked this story. My favorite thing is that these are actualized female characters not just a bunch of self hating stereotypes. I mean they aren't all frilly spandexed lies but a captain looking for a crew. Great start!
