This is one of those comics I've been looking for my whole life! This story takes your typical machismo rogue hero, and makes him female--and awesome. Bold Riley is heroic, mischievous, and a bit of a lady killer.
The different art styles were also nice, giving a different feel to each story. My one complaint is that I'd like to see a longer story arch, even though the one-off adventures are fun in themselves.
I'm looking forward to the next volume!

!!!!! More! I demand more! I loved every page of this book, and can do little more than incoherently squee over its awesomeness.

Generally pretty enjoyable, I just wish the art had been a little more consistent since I wasn't fond of some of the styles.

pseudo-indian (? based off how riley looks in the first chapter i'd guess sri lankan but it felt like they were trying for india with the culture references) sword and sorcery fantasy, following our heroine riley as she cures her travel itch by way of journeying across the land in search of adventure. the art varies -- i liked whoever they had drawing the first chapter and the ending but i wasn't wild about some of the stuff in the middle -- but generally stays at least servicable. my only real criticism is the ending doesn't feel like an ending. perhaps weathington wanted to leave herself the option of writing a second volume?

A perfect example of the heroic wanderer genre. Bold Riley is compelling, cunning, good with the ladies, and one badass lady herself. Beautifully illustrated by a host of talented artists, The Legend of Bold Riley is an entertaining read.

I didn't connect well with the character probably because it was in a short story style with different illustrators drawing each story. Because of these reasons, it didn't give me a sense of being complete which is something I crave in the books I read. I enjoyed some of the artwork, some weren't my cup of tea. I would love to read a long paced adventure where we get to know more about Bold Riley because she is a fresh character with room to grow.

I really liked the story about the serpent disguising itself as lovers to several women.Spoiler

Some of the art isn't a good as the writing, but it's a fun way to spend an afternoon with a princess having adventures and seducing ladies.

This is amazing. LGBT badass in which her lesbianness is just a fact of nature. No big deal. Beautiful. Now I need Volume 2. No, seriously, now...

I can't speak to highly of this series. Weathington manages to spin a tale with Bold Riley that feels like legend. The book is a series of short stories that all feel old. They feel like stories of a time and place long lost. And it just manages to build a powerful narrative where gods, monsters and magic is possible,

My disappointment here lies in a certain trope: The "bury your gays" or "dead lesbians" trope. For a book that is otherwise progressive (a queer woman of color going on adventures); I felt let down.
