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 gods' creatures for profit. It's also a darkly comedic fantasy series starring Hannah the Rockabilly Elven Mage, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter, Dee the Atheist Human Cleric and Betty the Hippy Hobbit Thief. This modern spin on an old school genre is a violent monster-killing epic that is like Buffy meets Tank Girl in a Lord of the Rings world on crack!
Rat Queens #1 eBook Kurtis Wiebe John Upchurch
I loved this the first time I read it.But I don't remember it being this good.
I swear I laughed on just about every page.
Fantastic story. Great art.
And pulling the first 2 volumes together in a single deluxe edition - I may break down and buy this. The $40 price tag may be a little steep. But this comic? It's worth it.
And the additions from the original TPBs (trade paperbacks) are amazing. Braga's story is fascinating. I'd love to hear more about her. I hope she becomes a regular. Violet's Courting 101 and Betty's Monster Fighting 101 are both spectacular (and hilarious).
Highly, highly recommended. (That is, if you can handle rated R subject matter.)

Rat Queens #1 eBook Kurtis Wiebe John Upchurch Reviews
My biggest issue with this graphic novel is that the cool lizard/dragon thing on the cover is not in the book!!! I want to see the Queens fight that thing!
Anyway, this is a fun graphic novel. It was fast paced and I really like the characters. They are all super different and I liked that they all weren’t pretty girls. They are all different shapes and sizes, which is really cool. Tho one of them is really small and childish, but she is a full adult and super sexual which can get a little bit weird because its easy to forget she is not a child.
This graphic novel had a really cool Dungeons and Dragons feel to it. The Rat Queens are a questing team and they fight trolls and do all sorts of other cool things! The unique skills of each of the girls makes them a great team!
I will definitely be buying the second volume!
This trade collects Rat Queens #1-5.
This volume’s subtitle, “Sass and Sorcery,” is as good a summation of Rat Queens as there is. Wiebe’s cast is three-dimensional, relatable, and diverse in appearance, attitude, and actions. Upchurch’s art is a perfect match, bring everything to life in an appropriate and powerful way.
The comic is violent and vulgar, but it seems right for the characters and situations. The Queens are the toughest group of women I’ve ever read about, without being “Mary Sues.” They’re far from perfect, and aren’t entirely good either, but are incredibly likable because they feel real and charming and it’s impossible not to cheer for them. Put such a strong set of main characters into an equally interesting take on some sword and sorcery cliches turned on their heads and it all adds up to a magical, fun read.
Every bit as impressive and awesome as I’d heard, Rat Queen is a must read for fans of the fantasy genre who can handle an in-your-face approach to the material and its “booze guzzling, death dealing battle maidens-for-hire” protagonists.
Rat Queens is basically HBO’s Girls meets Dungeons & Dragons, featuring a four-woman adventure group Betty, a horny, drunken “smidgen” thief (because every fantasy world needs its hobbit analogue). Dee, an atheist, socially awkward, human cleric of Cthulhu. Hannah, a tattooed, ornery, elf mage. Violet, a hipster, dwarf fighter.
Rat Queens takes place in and around Palisade, the sort of frontier town grown-up where once invaluable adventurers have become a liability. The story opens with the town adventuring parties (the Rat Queens, the Peaches, the Four Daves, and Obsidian Darkness) under fire for one property-destroying bar brawl too many. Each group is assigned a task that turns out to be a trap. The rest of Volume 1 deals with the fallout.
Each of the four members has her moments, the story is intriguing enough, and the comic is genuinely funny. They’re foul-mouthed, horny, and have a distinct tendency to cause disproportionate property damage. And can drink their rival adventurers under the table as easily as they kill their enemies. They’re joined by a host of cool minor characters, from a long-suffering captain of the town watch who’s sleeping with one of the Rat Queens to the friendly rival adventurer group named the Four Daves (exactly what it says on the tin) to a villainous local merchant to one very annoying town watchman. All in all, it probably has the best combo of awesome female characters around.
And it only gets better in Volume 2.
Four mercenary girls - Betty, Dee, Hannah, and Violet are sent to clean out the goblins of a surrounding town, but end up running into much more. Right out of the gate things get going. Their whole group survives the battle, but a few other groups aren’t quite as lucky. It seems that there are so many things happening and I felt a little confused as the girls try to figure out who's picking mercenaries off and how they will retaliate! It’s time for them to team up with other groups to battle a group of trolls out for revenge by the loss of one of their own from the opening scene. I’m curious to see what happens next because there was a lot was left hanging… It does have graphic language and imagery, but it’s got my attention and had me laughing often. Especially Betty! She’s my current favorite queen!!
