Meet the RAT QUEENS, Hannah, the Rockabilly Elven Mage, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter, Dee the Atheist Human Cleric and Betty the Hippy Smidgen Thief are back in the popular New Format! The critically acclaimed, award winning first 5 issues in one compact and affordable volume.

This modern spin on an old school genre is a violent, monster-killing epic that is like Tank Girl in a Lord of the Rings world on crack. Or, if you will, a deranged WofW.

“It’s the portrayal of realistic-looking female characters. Different body types that women
see when they look in the mirror, not in Photoshopped ads from fashion magazines.” —Comics for girls: Spandex not required

“This book represents a new type of fantasy comic; one where strong female leads are
represented in a realistic and powerful light. This is about four badass adventurers who
are also women, and it couldn’t be better.” —Chris Smith, Comic Bastards
