A fun, super-queer sci-fi comic set in a neo-medieval world in which princesses are promised to warriors who win big melee tournaments, and focused on a group of found-family-type lesbians who decide to take the system down. 

Liked the art style and the cool strong ladies. Not necessarily a must-read for me, but an entertaining one for sure, and I’m curious enough about the overall plot and a mystery cliffhanger to seek out future issues.

Mais cette fin. Donnez moi la suite 😭😭😭

Okay. Cette histoire est si géniale. Lesbienne Butch et non binaire et une lesbienne noire qui sont en couple et qui sont gladiatrices. Une jeune lesbienne mécano, une hackeuse lesbienne et trans. Ce livre est la bible pour les Simp. 

Y a de l’action, de superbes personnages, un bon world building. J’adore les personnages et la tournure que prend l’histoire. Surtout au niveau des sujets. Bref la suite svp

First things first, the artwork is gorgeous. The colour palettes, the character designs, the cosmoknights’ power armour, the backgrounds – it’s all just spot-on. Even the sound effects are well-integrated. The pacing is rather brisk for the most part but quiet/tense moments are allowed to breathe.
I don’t have too much to say about the story because honestly it’s quite simple. I worried the feminist critique was a little too simplistic and bordering on naïve, but Kate came along to say exactly what I was thinking:
the protagonists’ intentions are noble but by participating in the games they’re only ever operating within the patriarchal system rather than dismantling the system altogether for true liberation.
Like YES thank you! I’m glad (and surprised!) that point was brought up and I’m curious to see how the story develops from here.

This is very much the first book in a series. It does a great job of establishing the world and the characters but there isn’t a whole lot of payoff in this volume. It’s setting up for a sequel, which I look forward to reading when it comes out.
