From the beginning, when I saw these character introduction pictures, I knew this was going to be a fun ride. 
 This collection is full of irreverence and fun. Absolutely little regard for anything "serious" resides within these pages. The story is pretty simple, even straightforward if you've played any sort of RPG, or quest-based game. What really makes this un-put-downable are the characters. They are so full of bad-assery that I love them all! 
 The variety and nods to characters and archtypes made me smile the entire way through. The nods to gaming are actually everywhere and I LOVED it. It's has a tongue-in-cheek silliness to it that made me laugh out loud more than once. 
 "Nice one, Gary." Heh. 
 This is a quick read at 128 pages. There's plenty of action, and tons of humor. I can't wait to pick up the next collection to see where the Rat Queens take us next!
