THE FAR REACHING TENTACLES OF N’RYGOTH, Part Two You didn’t see that coming, did you? Neither did the Queens but now they have an ally on their side with an innate knowledge of N’Rygoth, which is good because they’re going to need every bit of help they can get. Palisade is overrun with tentacle monsters.
The characters and the story aren't fighting each other. There's equally as much time devoted to progressing the plot as there is making sure the characters react in their own way. Cracking jokes, eating candy people, it all fits regardless of the looming danger. Read Full Review
Some special attention should also be played to Ed Brisson. His letters do more than simply move the dialog along. Since Issue #1, he's helped bring the vocals to life with these characters, and in Issue #7, he locks them in tight. I can hear accents and tones in my head as the women speak. And when combined with Upchurch's wonderfully energetic fight scenes, the lettering is indeed a special effect that enhances the story. For an issue that's all about emotional honesty and secrets revealed, there is so very much more going on just below the surface. There is just no getting around it, Rat Queens is still a perfect title that everyone should be reading. Read Full Review
Its sometimes hard to talk about a book that is consistently perfect. Ill continue to discuss the elements I was really drawn to each month, but for this book in particular I think it would be really cool to get some discussion going. Leave a comment at the bottom about whatever youd like and then come back next month to keep the conversation going. I could write 500 words every month about how great it is, but this book really deserves some dialogue. I look forward to hearing what you think. Read Full Review
Rat Queens is something special and unique happening right before our eyes. There is nothing out there that can compare to this series and personally I rate it higher than other Image series. Why Saga sells more than this series is beyond me because they're neck and neck with each other in my opinion and both have a lot of the same strengths going for them. Rat Queens should be on everyone's reading list. It's hands down one of the best books being published. It's better than Saga, there is said it. Read Full Review
Rat Queens #7 is full of exquisite aesthetics, biting sarcasm and a proper shagging (or three). You'll want to read this one. Read Full Review
Wiebe does a fantastic job balancing and connecting plot points. Dees religious doubt and feelings for her home and family become more than just personal obstacles she needs to overcome. Her and her husbands knowledge of the artifacts and glyphs that Gerrig has stolen will be pivotal to saving Palisade in the coming issues. From the brief inclusions of Violets brother and Hannah and Tizzies constant bickering, I think its pretty obvious that Wiebe has plans involving each girls history and relating their personal struggles to real, monstrous threats in the future. This is definitely a well-thought out story. Read Full Review
Rat Queens #7 is arguably one of the best, if not the best issue so far in the series. Characters have their time in the spotlight that gives us a better understanding of their pasts, some step up to the plate when action calls, and a lot of our questions about the plot are starting to unravel. Palisade is overrun with tentacle monsters, they now have an ally on their side with an innate knowledge of N'Rygoth, so from here it's all hands on deck to stop what could very well be their end.

Rat Queens #7 is possibly a real turning point for the series, with it growing far more serious in its storytelling approach. For what it's doing and for the fact it is still keeping its funny nature, it's a welcome change that's well suited for the book. It still retains its charm, wonderful and memorable cast of characters, and stellar artwork. Definitely worth reading. Read Full Review

Though "Rat Queens" #7 feels like a bit of a misfire compared to some of the humor and heroic greatness the series usually displays, it's just a small misstep to an otherwise awesome book. Read Full Review
Not much can be added to a book that is basically perfect issue after issue. Fun, violent, trashy writing that really creates a world.
Gorgeous and consistent art from the design, color, depth.
This issue does have a more mellow tone than those before and has a slower pace, but it really is a testament to this title that its lowest moment is better than almost anything else on the shelves.
