Rat Queens #10

Rat Queens #10 brings the heat with a striking Stjepan Šejić cover that plants a red-haired warrior woman — blood-slicked sword raised — triumphantly atop a pile of defeated orc-like enemies, while a massive, bald, heavily bearded warrior crouches beside her holding a small blue object. The warm amber haze and the sheer physicality of these two figures make it immediately clear this is a series that relishes bold characters and hard-won victories. With Kurtis J. Wiebe's writing and Šejić handling full art duties inside as well, this 2015 Image Shadowline issue promises the same sharp, irreverent fantasy that made Rat Queens such a standout series.
