A town's men go off to find a prince to marry their princess, and die, leaving the women of the village to figure things out. I liked the concept, and the book felt playful. I especially liked the nods to songs from things like Tangled and Hamilton. Overall, I didn't completely enjoy this, but I'm also not the target demographic and I think the right reader will adore this comic.
