Ladycastle

When the men of a medieval kingdom ride off to war and never return, the women left behind must defend their home from monsters, magic, and the chaos of a world without knights. This 2017 Boom! Studios series, written by Delilah S. Dawson with art by Ashley A. Woods, flips the fantasy trope on its head, turning a castle full of unlikely heroines into a fierce, funny, and heartfelt story of resilience. Its single-issue debut is a compact, self-contained gem that proves you don't need a long run to make a lasting impression.
