Rat Queens #12

Issue twelve of Kurtis J. Wiebe and Tess Fowler's beloved fantasy-adventure series arrives with a striking cover by Stjepan Šejić, featuring a cheerful, pointy-eared adventurer grinning wide as she raises a fist triumphantly — all while an enormous, toothy creature looms in the shadows behind her, blissfully unaware of (or unbothered by) the swirling candy scattered around her feet. There's a wonderful tension between her carefree delight and the lurking beast that perfectly captures the series' signature blend of humor and danger. Tamra Bonvillain's warm, rich colors on the interior make this 2015 Image/Shadowline chapter a genuinely inviting read for fans of sharp wit and sharper swords.
