About the series
Rat Queens follows a foul-mouthed, hard-partying band of mercenary women in a fantasy world turned delightfully upside down. Launched by Image in 2014, this series from writer Kurtis J. Wiebe and artist Roc Upchurch reimagines sword-and-sorcery tropes with a sharp, modern sense of humor and genuine emotional stakes. Its debut issue quickly established the Queens as a beloved ensemble, blending Dungeons & Dragons-style adventure with the messy, loyal friendships of a found family.
