Comic Round Up
Superman/Wonder Woman Vol. 2: War And Peace (The New 52) - Charles Soule,Ed Benes,Tony S. Daniel
Rat Queens, Vol. 1: Sass & Sorcery - Kurtis J. Wiebe,Roc Upchurch

The second volume in the Superman/Wonder Woman title is two stars.  As a person who does not read Superman, I was horribly lost for part of this. There were some nice touches, but half the story is missing. The ending shorter stories were okay. The best being the one with the plant that Clark gave Diana.  

 

 

 

Now Rat Queens is five stars.  Because, in part, bluebirds are not on Dave's shoulders, but in his beard. DO NOT TOUCH THEM! They make him extra sexy.

Rat Queens is about a sell sword group of women who are basically a D&D group come to life (magic user, priest, fighter, thief). Like many D&D stories, they work out of a village/town/city that hires them and various other groups to destroy things. And there the similarities to D&D end unless you have played D&D with crazy people.

Which I have, but never this crazy.

You have in this book people of different beliefs, races, genders, skin colors, and body types. And sexualities. There is also plenty of blood and humor. This is not a book for children.

The book is surprising touching in some places as well. It's great fun.

Rat Queens by Kurtis J. Wiebe
Rat Queens #1 - Kurtis J. Wiebe,Roc Upchurch

Since reading Maus I've found an appreciation for graphic novels and asked Tigus if he could recommend me some funny ones. As always he was more than happy to help and recommended several titles, this one included.

 

Who are the Rat Queens? A pack of booze-guzzling, death-dealing battle maidens-for-hire, and they’re in the business of killing all gods’ creatures for profit.

It’s also a darkly comedic fantasy series starring Hannah the Rockabilly Elven Mage, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter, Dee the Atheist Human Cleric and Betty the Hippy Hobbit Thief. This modern spin on an old school genre is a violent monster-killing epic that is like Buffy meets Tank Girl in a Lord of the Rings world on crack!

 

This was the second comic I tried and was by far my favourite. The interaction between the characters was fantastic, as was the narrative and the artwork. I can't wait to read more. Thanks again Tigus.

I wanna be a Rat Queen...
Rat Queens, Vol. 1: Sass & Sorcery - Kurtis J. Wiebe,Roc Upchurch

Hello Booklikes world! This is my first ever post on here and basically my ever review. I rate all my books but I'm a woman of little words, so I usually don't elaborate, but I'm going to attempt to, just for you lovelies (lovely?). haha.

 

I'm also very new to the graphic novel world, so I don't have much to compare Rat Queens to but even so.. I LOVED IT. The characters were so sharp and funny, I'm having trouble picking my favorite because they were all just so good. Betty is a little firecracker and I probably loved her most. But Violet is just a general badass and I probably would want to be her. I gave this 5 stars, because it's my favorite comic I've read, and I can't wait to get the next one. BRB, running to Gryphon now.
