I'm happy to have the Rat Queens back, because I honestly missed them. The Queens wisecracking and crass antics are forever entertaining and that coupled with an intriguing story makes for an enjoyable read. This soft reboot has me excited for whats to come and I look forward to seeing more of Owen Gienis art bring this wild fantasy world to life. I cant wait to do more questing with these booze-guzzling, monster killing gals and hear their endless jokes about Gary. Read Full Review

Im just so damn happy to have these stinky, violent, crass, obnoxious ladies back in my life at their most stinky, violent, crass, and obnoxious best. Read Full Review

I would suggest that you pick up Rat Queensif you like fantasy stories or are a Dungeons and Dragons fan. IF you don't mind the leads being badass ladies who slay and kill for fun" and money, never forget the money. Read Full Review

Should you pick it up? Yeah. If you have lingering issues about the team, I can understand that. But if you were a fan of Rat Queens before, there's plenty here to like. The team is coming together and the plot is developing nicely. The whole thing is snarky as all hell. I was excited to see this new opening and I remain optimistic about the future of the team. Fuck yeah, Rat Queens! Read Full Review

It's not a perfect jumping on point -- new readers may struggle to navigate the references to past adventures and characters -- but the book's original tone is as strong as ever. Read Full Review

So far the reboot does a good job of setting up a new storyline while connecting with the old ("old" being the storyline prior to trade Volume 3). Palisade is trying to rebuild after destruction seen in previous arcs; a cult seems to have emerged from the events surrounding the squid beasts; Bernadette reminds Dee that she's no longer just Dee; and so on. Wiebe does a good job setting up the series for action, and I'm cautiously hopeful that Rat Queens will return to its glory days. Read Full Review

The really difficult question that you're asked at the end of this issue is, did it do enough to bring you back to the series? Have you grown as a reader or changed in your tastes in your time away from Rat Queens or does it still have enough of that spark to keep you for another issue, another arc, another series? You'll likely figure out my answer to that question next month in the form of a review or the lack of one. Read Full Review
