"THE COLOSSAL MAGIC NOTHING," Part Five
With all of her friends gone, Betty must confront the reality wizard alone. The past, present, and future collide in a magic maelstrom, and in the battered ruins, a shocking truth is uncovered!
Overall, I thought that this was a killer conclusion to this arc. The storytelling is ace and the art is gorgeous and diverse. There isn't much more for me to say, other than go and grab yourself a copy now! Read Full Review
Rat Queens has always been a series where you expect a little humor, with some real moments thrown on top. However, issue #10 simply drops a bomb on our laps and walks away, quite literally. There is no preparing yourself for how stunning this story turned out once all cards were laid on the table and the mystery was put to rest. There wasn't a lot that you could piece together, and that really left us at the edge of our seats till the very end. Read Full Review
Rat Queens #10 is a pleasant surprise and avoids most of the pitfalls that have tripped up previous issues. The story gets wrapped up fairly neatly and is full of wonderful moments, especially for Betty. Read Full Review
An unexpected close to a rollercoaster of a storyline. If you are in the know, you already pick this book up, if not, go check it out and see what you're missing. Read Full Review
"Rat Queens" has gone through plenty of tumults in recent years, and 'The Colossal Magic Nothing' isn't trying to erase that but it is trying to move forward after a long hard look in the mirror. Read Full Review
It'll be interesting to see if the two Hannahs ever meet, and if so how they react to each other. Based on how things ended in this issue, we know that both are aware of each other. But that doesn't tell us much for how they'll react. Or how the Hannah that is saved will respond to the whole truth of what has happened. Read Full Review
This whole arc has been exhausting, and while it is laudable to take the Queens to deeper and darker levels, the lack of humor and debauchery is disappointing. While not bad by any stretch, it is decidedly off brand, which might seriously offend purists. Read Full Review
Rat Queens #10 wraps up the current story arc, which feels like it maybe bit off a little more than it could chew. Read Full Review
A satisfying end to this arc, although it's been hard to follow on a month-to-month basis. Rat Queens goes X-Men on us and splits the timeline for the big reveal, something I didn't see coming and really enjoyed. Most of the art in this issue is fantastic - Gieni's style really fits the medieval/fantasy setting of Rat Queens. The flashbacks though really took me out of the story, and on an issue of this magnitude found the art change jarring. Some have pointed out online the lack of humor (aside from Betty's biggest regret not eating the extra slice of meat pie!), but this storyline was set up as more serious almost from the beginning. Rat Queens cyberpunk is next, I'd rather see more one-shots (Gary!).
