Comments: The story starts so lovely as one of the Rat Queens makes her way to meet another Rat Queen. It is forty years later and things have changed.
Lady Violet Blackforge looks amazing for her age and plans to meet Miss Braga and a few others. Betty shows up next her personality has not changed at all. High Priestess Delilah aka Dee and her son are on their way as well. Things have certainly changed over forty years. Ms.Hannah Vizari is the last to arrive. Then lastly Braga comes out. The Rat Queens are all here.
Now we look back as one Rat Queen needs help with her family and the others all band together. Violet, Hannah, Betty, and Dee.
The Meldhammer Clan’s house is beautifully illustrated. What goes on inside is quite unexpected. Violet is here to help her brother Barrie if he needs it. Something is going on in this town and is not nice. Hannah and Dee begin checking it out. This all leads to one huge battle and Violet and Hannah are opposed to each other.
The updates that are added to the story fit in perfectly. Suppose you loved the Rat Queens before you will even more after reading this.
At this forty-year reunion, Hannah listens as the others each fill in what has happened to them since they last parted and they have all grown and blossomed into beautiful women who should be proud of what they have become. This is written and drawn so emotionally.
This final issue of the Rat Queens could not have been done any better. Violet, Hannah, Dee, and Betty the Queens are so special.
