Rat Queens is one of my favorite comics I've ever read. It is so much fun, and reminds me of a hilarious D&D campaign. I love every single character, and would highly recommend this series.

I'm uncomfy with the semi-infatilization of Betty, and I found this volume at times to be confusing.
But it's nonetheless a fun read.

I LOVE The Rat Queens in Volume 1. This one seemed different. The CHARACTERS were sorta different (let alone the art change). I am, however, already reading the next issues after Vol. 2, and the magic is back. So don't get discouraged if you found this one a tiny (and I do mean tiny b/c I did enjoy this one, too) lack luster.

love how the monster opened up for backstories. I love all the Rat Queens. I think Violet is my favorite though. who knows.

'Rat Queens, Vol 2: The Far Reaching Tentacles of N'rygoth' is my first foray into the world of the Rat Queens. It collects issues 6-10 of the series, but you should really start at the beginning.
The book starts with the aftermath of previous adventures, and the Queens are enjoying various night time activities. They get called in to the town magistrates office and rewarded for past and future work on behalf of the town of Palisade. All this peace and wealth isn't bound to last though. Before long something evil has been called forth to take over the town, and the Rat Queens find themselves caught up in saving a town that may not appreciate them all that much. The manifestation of these beings causes the Queens to have strange flashbacks, which probably helps to fill in character backstory. More than one character has to come to terms with their past.
The story kind of jumps around, which I found a bit confusing. I would recommend starting with Volume 1, as there is some necessary backstory that you'd probably appreciate having. I'd also advise that the content falls into probably more of an R rating if we were using movie ratings. I still enjoyed it though and look forward to reading more.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
