Rat Queens Volume 7: The Once and Future King by Ryan Ferrier
4.0
Rat queens has been a long and uneven road, but it's finding its way once again. With a new creative team at the helm, this is one of the most coherent volumes we've seen in quite some time. The characters remain great, the fantasy remains epic and completely irreverent, and the adventure is as big as ever. There's definitely a different feel here compared to the high point of the earliest volumes, but the new team is staying true to all that has happened, making sense of the rather convoluted events of past volumes, and charting a new course that holds great promise for the Queens and everyone around them--as unfortunate as those events may be.
Volume 7 sees the Queens picking up the pieces of all they've been through. Fractured, weary, and stretched to the breaking point--they are not the forceful adventurers they once were. But as shadows of the past resurface and the fate of existence is once again at stake--the Queens may be the only ones standing between the world and absolute destruction. But before they can deal with that, they have some old grudges to settle.
