RAT QUEENS (2013)

"'GOLD, GUTS AND GROG,' Part One Who are the Rat Queens? A pack of booze-guzzling, death-dealing battle maidens-for-hire, and they're in the business of killing all gods' creatures for profit. It's also a darkly comedic fantasy series starring Hannah the Rockabilly Elven Mage, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter, Dee the Atheist Human Cleric and Betty the Hippy Hobbit Thief. This modern spin on an old school genre is a violent monster-killing epic that is like Buffy meets Tank Girl in a Lord of the Rings world on crack! A new ongoing series from PETER PANZERFAUST's KURTIS J. WIEBE and featuring a gorgeous incentive cover by SAGA's FIONA STAPLES!"

"'GOLD, GUTS AND GROG,' Part Two Someone wants to kill the Rat Queens? The girls are seeing red and there's only one thing to do about it: get really, really drunk. And, eventually, maybe get to the bottom of who's trying to kill them. Because, let's be honest, they already know why."

"'GOLD, GUTS AND GROG,' Part Three One tablespoon of cayenne peppers, 2 ounces of 100 proof vodka, and 3 ounces of tomato juice makes one fantastic Bloody Murder. So does double-crossing the Rat Queens and foolishly thinking you can get away with it. Drink up!"

"'GOLD, GUTS, AND GROG,' Part Four Holy vengeance can be a real headache, but it's so much worse when it's coming from a fifteen foot tall lady troll who's just lost her dad. In this blood-splattered issue, the Rat Queens find out that every action has some sort of hilariously brutal consequence! RAT QUEENS ships with two covers by ROC UPCHURCH, which may be ordered separately."

"'Gold, Guts and Grog,' Part Five Well, Palisade has seen better days. It stinks like orc blood. There are bits of troll all over the place. Worst of all, the famous booze ship, Drowned Sorrows, sank to the bottom of the harbor in the attack. This era of Palisade will forever be known as THE DRY SPELL."

"'THE FAR REACHING TENTACLES OF N'RYGOTH,' Part One A brand new booze-soaked arc of Rat Queens reveals a growing menace within the very walls of Palisade. And while Dee may have run from her past, the bloated, blood-feasting sky god N'rygoth never really lets his children stray too far."

"'THE FAR REACHING TENTACLES OF N'RYGOTH,' Part Two You didn't see that coming, did you? Neither did the Queens but now they have an ally on their side with an innate knowledge of N'Rygoth, which is good because they're going to need every bit of help they can get. Palisade is overrun with tentacle monsters. Retailers: see order form for special incentive virgin cover!"

"'THE FAR REACHING TENTACLES OF N'RYGOTH,' Part Three If your enemy is just too damn strong, well...when you can't beat 'em, join 'em. And then from the safety of their trust, that's when you kill 'em with a good rusty blade to the spine. Rat Queens style. COVER SWITCHEROO! PETER PANZERFAUST's TYLER JENKINS draws this issue's cover, while RAT QUEENS' ROC UPCHURCH draws this month's PETER PANZERFAUST cover! Plus a special incentive B cover diptych for BOTH books by MICHAEL AVON OEMING!"

"'THE FAR REACHING TENTACLES OF N'RYGOTH,' Part Four Life in Palisade is a goblet of toasty sweet mulled wine. But this issue is the skull-pounding headache the next morning when all you're left with is the consequences. And they are life-changing, awful ones at that. Special cover by superstar artist JENNY FRISON!"

"Palisade is shattered and recovering from the grand battle against the Spawn of N'Rygoth while the Rat Queens try to pick up the pieces of their fractured bond. Hey, we never promised it would all be candy and drugs."

"Featuring the debut of new regular series artist STJEPAN SEJIC (WITCHBLADE, SUNSTONE)! 'DEMONS' Road Trip! Having survived the end of the world, the Queens follow Hannah back to where it all began: Mage University. With Necromancers being hunted by a mysterious cadre of religious zealots, Hannah will see to it that the Council of Ten, the overseers of the mage community, do something about it. "

"'DEMONS,' Part Two Along the deadly mountain trail leading to Mage University, Hannah stumbles across an old friend from an old life. The mysterious figure knows a secret past that Hannah wants no one else to ever know about. "

"To be announced."

"'DEMONS,' Part Four Hannah is reunited with her father for the first time in many years and in a way she never could have expected. "

"'Demons,' Part Five A betrayal changes the Rat Queens forever! Prepare to be shocked!"

"NEW STORY ARC 'When Beards Collide' Part 1 The Rat Queens return to Palisade to find that the world has moved on without them. The tavern is infested with would be heroes, drinking all the ale and getting in all the fights. What's a warrior girl to do?"

"'WHEN BEARDS COLLIDE,' Part Two It's back to basics for the Rat Queens. With two new additions to the team, killing monsters for profit proves to be a lot harder than it used to!"

"'WHEN BEARDS COLLIDE,' Part Three The return of Violet's brother Barrie has completely upended life in Palisade. Just when you thought things couldn't get any beardier."
