Meet the Rat Queens who are a mercenary group in Medieval times who are known for their barroom brawls. There's Betty, a hippie halfling thief whose idea of a meal is drugs and candy. Then there's Hannah, a rockabilly elven mage, and Violet a dwarven warrior who shaved her beard. Then there's Dee, an atheist human who is skilled in combat has magic abilities, and can heal, who comes from a family who worships a squid deity. The Rat Queens and the other mercenary groups including the Peaches, Four Daves, Brother Ponies, and Obsidian Darkness have found themselves run afoul of the Mayor for their rowdy and drunken brawling behavior and have been told to do some task.
The Rat Queens have been assigned to clear the goblins out of Hindman cave. When they arrive an assassin awaits them to take them out. They go in to attack him but a giant troll smashes him. They are forced to fight the troll in order to save themselves and kill him. They go in search of the others and find what is left of the Peaches: Tizzie and Braga and they help them out, though Hannah and Tizzie go at each other and try to kill each other like always.
The Obsidian Darkness was wiped out, the Four Daves survived whole, while the Brother Ponies suffered some losses. The Rat Queens are determined to find out who is behind the assassination attempt. They believe it is the Mayor, but Sawyer Silver, the head of the Guard insists that it wasn't and he has always been on the Rat Queen's side. So who wanted the mercenaries dead? Also, they will have to face the consequences of their actions of killing the troll earlier. The Rat Queens are a real kick-ass, hard drinking, a hard loving group of female rats who in the end can be depended on to do the right thing. I adored this comic. It had an amazing story and great art. I cannot recommend it enough.
