Hmmm… I’m a bit disappointed in this volume of issues. I just don’t feel the same joy as I did at the beginning of this series. The storyline has become a bit convoluted and hard to follow. I am not loving some the choices for characters. And the art has gone down a bit. I really loved the art style in the beginning. I imagine that I will pick up the next trade when it publishes, but I won’t rush out for it.

The 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! Collects RAT QUEENS, VOL. 2 #1-5

Finally! Another fun volume of Rat Queen adventures. This was a great return to Palisade and a reconnection with Violet's brother. The big bad monster was properly horrifying and the action was fast and furious. I loved the scene in the temple with the "frog." Can't wait for volume 5!
