Rat Queens #18

Five faces stare upward in wide-eyed alarm on Priscilla Petraites' striking cover for this 2019 Image series — a pointed-eared figure in the foreground looks genuinely terrified, while four companions crowd behind her, bathed in an eerie blue light that gives the whole scene an unsettling, otherworldly tension. The Rat Queens' signature mix of fantasy and attitude comes through clearly, with the crew's diverse cast rendered with expressive detail by Petraites and colored with cool atmospheric intensity by Marco Lesko. Ryan Ferrier and Kurtis J. Wiebe's series continues to deliver compelling ensemble storytelling, and this cover promises whatever the Queens are facing, it's got them rattled.
