3.5 stars. 
 A group of close women friends kick ass on anyone or anything that gets in their way, all the while ribbing each other/bonding. There's magic, there's weapons, tons of blood, cursing, and general debauchery. I liked it, but at times it felt over the top, maybe even gratuitous. The artwork is colorful, detailed, and attractive. Once in a while I couldn't tell what just happened, either due to the art, the plot/text, or some combination. 
 A fun diversion, though not good enough for me to seek out further stories on the Rat Queens.
