‪Rat Queens: Volumes 1-5

‪Rat Queens: Volumes 1-5 is amazing in all the best ways. It’s a sword and sorcery comic with badass women, lots of fighting, vulnerability, barfights, and really gorgeous art. The Queens are excellent, the world is well-developed... seriously, go read these.

It’s casually queer with complex relationships (romantic, platonic, and everything in between).

I could list tiny things for a while, but I don’t want to spoil even tiny things. If you like comics/graphic novels, definitely check these out. If you haven’t tried any before, as long is you’re fine with blood and gore these would be a good place to start.
