I checked out the first issue of Rat Queens when it first came out. It was a lot of fun, but I decided to trade wait. 
 I chose poorly. 
 Now that I've read the first trade, it makes me angry to think that I could have been reading this ridiculously fun book on a monthly basis. It's obscene, gory, and hilariously over the top, but it's also incredibly well-written and has some of the strongest art I've seen in a long time. Each of the Queens has her own unique personality (and body type-- no stereotypical sword-and-sorcery type babes, here, thankfully), and I would gladly read a book about them doing anything anywhere based on the strength of their characterizations and relationships with each other. Bottom line: I need more of it in my life.
