You’ve
never seen high fantasy heroines like the Rat Queens before. Hannah the
Rockabilly Elven Mage, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter, Dee the
Atheist Human Cleric, and Betty the Hippy Smidgen are foul-mouthed,
gleefully blood-spattered, prone to fits of indiscriminate property
damage, and often intoxicated. They’re the stars of the hit Image
Comics/Shadowline comic book series RAT QUEENS, and they’re best f*cking
mercenary team in all of Palisade. So why does someone want them dead?
Wait, don’t answer that.
Better than any bard’s song of triumph in battle, RAT QUEENS VOLUME ONE: SASS AND SORCERY by Kurtis J. Wiebe (PETER PANZERFAUST) and Roc Upchurch
(VESCELL) will be hitting (and we do mean hitting) store shelves in
March. The Queens embark on a quest of rare importance, promising fame
and fortune should they succeed in this most dangerous of — OK, so they
have to clear some goblins out of a cave. But things take a surprising
turn, and the Queens are going to have to use their wits and weapons to
uncover a plot on their lives.
RAT
QUEENS rocketed to cult status when its first issue appeared in
September 2013 and went on to win IGN's coveted Best New Series of the
year. This paperback volume of the series collects the first five
issues, with a cover by Fiona Staples (SAGA). RAT QUEENS VOLUME ONE is available for pre-order now and a five-page preview
is on Image Comics’ website. Readers who like their swords bloody and
their sorcery sarcastic won’t want to miss out on this hot new title.
