We have our third cameo from the beloved Gary, which was probably my favorite scene/panel from this entire bind up. We also are introduced to Dee’s husband, yes I said husband, Mezikiah. They find a letter that leads them right to Bernadette, and Sawyer discovers who is really behind everything that happened in Vol. We get introduced to Sawyer’s second in command, Lola. There will be SPOILERS, so please use caution in continuing if you have not read this graphic-novel or its predecessor Vol. I’m now going to break down each chapter in this bind up. I also want to also emphasize, again, that is not a PG book by any means! Go into this knowing that there will be lots of blood, swearing, drinking, drug use, and sex, lots of sex. Apparently, Roc Upchurch stopped illustrating this series after issue 8 and Stjepan Šejić took over, so that explains why I was being so negative about the final pieces. I did notice another name as an illustrator for this volume, but I guess I just like Roc Upchurch’s solo style more. Yet, at the same time, I didn’t really enjoy this “boss” as much as I thought I would, so part of me wishes that all three chapters were just more back-story on these kick ass heroines that I love. After I finished it, and while writing this review currently, I can’t help but feel disappointed.Īs for the two chapters that I felt were more filler, we did get a lot of back-story, which I absolutely appreciate, but it just felt so weird with their city falling around them. I was filled with so much glee, while getting comfy on my bed, to start this graphic-novel that I was so sure would be a masterpiece. Since finishing Sass & Sorcery last night, in one sitting, I rushed out today to make sure I got my greedy little hands on this volume. I’m sad, I’m hurt, but I’m mostly just let down. Two of the chapters felt so much like fillers, that they hardly had anything to do with the main story of this collection.

There wasn’t nearly enough Betty for my liking. I play several musical instruments (most infamously, the bagpipes), I make art, and I sometimes write about cars for magazines like Road & Track and Jalopnik.Ĭurrently I live in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia with my husband, my two children, some cows, five dogs who fart recreationally, a horse of many colors, a criminally insane cat, an interminable number of miniature silky fainting goats, and one 1973 Camaro named Loki.Bilford Bogin! It’s with a heavy heart that I must inform you that Rat Queens, Vol.

Some of them are funny, ha-ha, and some of them are funny, strange.
