"Th Queens are back! Palisade is still a rat-infested hell hole, and Violet, Hannah, Dee, Betty and the brand-new Queen Braga are the only hope of saving it! It's been a long time since they've done a good slaughter, so join them as they get back to the basics of killing monsters and drinking away the profits! This is a fresh, hilarious new take on the Rat Queens with new artist Owen Gieni!"

My Rating: 2.5/5

What in the hell was this? I'm seriously asking. We're going to drop some mad plot last volume and some crazy backstory and then we are just going to backpedal on it and act like none of it even happened?!?!?!? That is unacceptable. I don't know who this new Rat Queens volume is supposed to appeal to but it sure as hell isn't me thus far. In my opinion, the characters have had character changes that don't make any sense (acting like different people), and the humour just isn't what I wanted after reading the first 3 volumes and loving them. I hope that this switches back to the plotline we were on in the first 3, but I have a feeling it may not. And that is a tragedy.

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
