Ah, this has all the D&D buttons you could press without being a D&D product. I've recently read the Tales of Endless Adventure, and this is far superior. The characters are complicated and interesting, and the stories are good and balanced for the various characters, for the most part. I definitely recommend this volume with its bonus bits of art and small comic strips. ( ) Meet the Rat Queens who are a mercenary group in Medieval times who are known for their barroom brawls. There's Betty, a hippie halfling thief whose idea of a meal is drugs and candy. Then there's Hannah, a rockabilly elven mage, and Violet a dwarven warrior who shaved her beard. Then there's Dee, an atheist human who is skilled in combat has magic abilities, and can heal, who comes from a family who worships a squid deity. The Rat Queens and the other mercenary groups including the Peaches, Four Daves, Brother Ponies, and Obsidian Darkness have found themselves run afoul of the Mayor for their rowdy and drunken brawling behavior and have been told to do some task. The Rat Queens have been assigned to clear the goblins out of Hindman cave. When they arrive an assassin awaits them to take them out. They go in to attack him but a giant troll smashes him. They are forced to fight the troll in order to save themselves and kill him. They go in search of the others and find what is left of the Peaches: Tizzie and Braga and they help them out, though Hannah and Tizzie go at each other and try to kill each other like always. The Obsidian Darkness was wiped out, the Four Daves survived whole, while the Brother Ponies suffered some losses. The Rat Queens are determined to find out who is behind the assassination attempt. They believe it is the Mayor, but Sawyer Silver, the head of the Guard insists that it wasn't and he has always been on the Rat Queen's side. So who wanted the mercenaries dead? Also, they will have to face the consequences of their actions of killing the troll earlier. The Rat Queens are a real kick-ass, hard drinking, a hard loving group of female rats who in the end can be depended on to do the right thing. I adored this comic. It had an amazing story and great art. I cannot recommend it enough. I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This was great! The story was exciting, the characters were well-developed, and the artwork was fantastic! I've been seeing this series listed on Comixology and Amazon for a while, and passed it over simply because it sounded too far out of my "normal" realm of comics. I'm glad I requested this one, and that I was approved. It was very well done. The artwork was wonderful. Stjepan Šejić, Tess Fowler, and Roc Upchurch all did an outstanding job at capturing the characters and all of their traits. Highly recommended! Read all my reviews on http://urlphantomhive.booklikes.com The Rat Queens Deluxe Edition Vol. 1 covers the first two volumes of the series. Seldom have I heard so much about a comic series and read such raving reviews. However, after reading them I never really had a good idea of what the book was about. And, I won't explain it into detail either because you'll have to find out for yourself. Besides I believe that the story in this case really is less important than the characters, who really steal the show. Despite all this positive things I'd heard I was a bit cautious, since my comic reading the last months was not very successful. But I couldn't have been wrong. It was a great read. The reviews certainly were true. It is a - for me at least - one of a kind comic, with great characters, art that fits it great and I was surprised even at how engrossed I was in the story. The only negative thing I can think of is that the story itself was not really special. I'm certainly looking forward to read more of this comic. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
