Spinning right out of the pages of Princeless, it's the ongoing adventures of Raven Xingtao, The Pirate Princess. Raven is ready to set off on a quest for revenge against her brothers who have stolen her inheritance. This monthly ongoing series picks up right where Princeless Volume 3 left off.
Comic readers have been calling for more titles that are smart, fun, interesting, and inclusive. The Pirate Princess fits that bill. Its a great read for anyone who enjoys comics, and I cant wait to get my hands on the next issue. Read Full Review
With a breathtaking chase sequence that makes up the meat of the issue and art that is easy to follow, Pirate Princess #1 is accessible and entertaining even for readers who haven't read Princeless. (Like this reviewer.) It tells a story that sexist marketing companies would wrongly place in the "boy" category with two female characters, who aren't friends, but aren't enemies because they're fighting over a boy. Raven and Sunshine are both pirates, and Raven took Sunshine's money, hence, they're enemies. Writer Jeremy Whitley gives the beginnings of a believable arc for Raven as she struggles to become the Black Arrow, and this one of the many reasons why Pirate Princess #1 is a unique, fun, and slightly subversive entry in the pirate genre.

Overall, I had a lot of fun with this comic, despite the flaws in it. It's worth looking at, and I'm interested to know where it's going in the future, which is all that I can ask for from a first issue. Read Full Review
