The series went off the rails when they switched creative teams, & the art is just kinda bad.
ughhhhhhhhh.....i LOVE this series but this wasn't that good. HATED the new art style. also i miss violet and I'm sick of evil hannah.
As a random filler volume this was decent and fairly entertaining, but as the [supposed] end of the entire series it was a huge letdown. I was enjoying it well enough most of the way through but once I realized it was actually the series finale the last volume felt very anticlimactic with how the final battle basically happened off screen and all, although I guess (view spoiler)[it was so they could leave it open for a possible 9th volume in the future (hide spoiler)] but still pretty watered do...
I miss the old Rat Queens :/
I mean...I still love the characters. But I think that’s me holding onto how they were in earlier volumes. The creative team for the last couple of volumes really don’t seem to be able to do much with the wonderful Rat Queens. In this volume in particular, the plot really kind of just stumbles around, while loosely sticking to the whole Evil Hannah, Dee-as-a-god thing without really doing much at all. Hannah is the only one who gets some kind of arc here, while the others are really secondary ch...
You know those musical episodes they squeeze into tv shows that go on forever? Just to lighten up the mood a little, you know? Buffy had one, Scrubs, Ally McBeal, and even Supernatural managed one. That's what this feels like (there is even an actual musical number).However, this is a comic book.It doesn't hit like any musical episode I've ever watched.Because there is no music.There is only silence.
Chaos ensues when the gods decide to leave only one reluctant god behind. The art took a turn for the worse in the later issues.
On the one hand, I know what’s going on with this series. Switching from one writer and then in the “future” back to another writer and having jammed so many different artists into the fold makes for a wildly inconsistent product, and unfortunately Ferrier merely treads water with the narrative in this piece. By the end, I’m not sure it clearly causes any meaningful change for any of the characters except one might be replaced (maybe? Unclear because the climax happens off panel) with a doppelgä...
I reread the series to get ready for this finale - I maybe shouldn't have - it just served to show me how bad this one really is. I hated the art and there's no delving into what's actually happening in the world - we're in the void, Dee's the god who got us there, the last god, and Hannah's got an evil-her who's been universe-hopping for thousands of years - this is an incredible story idea, why isn't it being used? Two stars for the idea, 0 stars for the execution of the idea.
2.5 stars for this volume 3 star for the whole seriesI really loved the characters especially at the beginning of the series but through out the volumes the direction of the story i found got lost. this last volume tried to finish up stores line started in the last few volumes and tried to finish the series in a nice place. However, I feel like this issue wasn't necessary and the series should have ended with the last volume, when Violet gave a perfect good bye telling the new generation to make...
2.5/5 - Eh, got weird again.
Rat Queens drunkenly stumbles into another hiatus as the second writer and fourth and fifth (? sixth and seventh?) artists feebly wrap up their run with unreadable dreck and the egregious inability to draw Betty.But the trainwreck ain't over yet, folks! An ad in the back says the original author, Kurtis J. Wiebe, is re-teaming with the controversial first artist, Roc Upchurch, to produce an original graphic novel with the definitive conclusion later this year. Hoo boy.
I don't normally write reviews but I can't not say something here. A lot of this is going to echo what other reviews have said.The art is terrible. The worst Rat Queens art by a long shot. Betty in particular looks like some sort of weird gremlin creature, not the smidgen we know and love.The story is all over the place, it feels like pages are missing at times, and half of the issues feel disconnected from the rest of the arc (particularly the (view spoiler)[werewolves (hide spoiler)] issue and...
DNF - this should never have been published.
This was the worst of any of the volumes. Total male gaze, shallow story. Completely ignores the lively banter and character development of earlier volumes.
Wow, this was... not good. The plots jumped all over the place. Positively stuffed with deus ex machina, although the gods went away so was it just whackjob-ideas ex machina? And the art was, well, 'random' is the best word I can use here. (Could someone look up what Betty used to look like, please?)At the end, they state that the series will be wrapped up in one final graphic novel. I look forward to it, hopeful that they bring back the fun and joy of Rat Queens for one last ride... instead of
Love the attitude. Seriously, it's still sometimes laugh out loud funny. But I loathe the nonsensical plot. The writers have lost their way.I guess the gods are gone and bad actors jubilantly fill the void. And Evil Hannah is still eviling somewhere off in the background. Please just go back to partying and fighting trolls, that was fun.Plot points: (view spoiler)[--Hannah gets a new fuckbuddy, an anthropomorphic frog who turns into a naked guy with good "cum gutters". [Dear Diary, today I learn...
Oh, wow. This was a mess. This whole book felt like a filler, which is fine every now and again, but it feels like all the last albums have been fillers. Like they don't know where they're going at all! And yet another artist takes up the mantle, and this one was just as messy as the writing. Honestly, I kept skipping ahead because I couldn't stand the artstyle. It was glaring. I think this is where the series is losing me as a reader. I'm not 100% sure, because it said in the back that they're
Bunch of random filler. Bad art and writing as well. Supposed to be one more so yea... we'll see how that goes.
The art is hit-and-miss. The writing is crass as ever, with glimmers of humor amidst a still messy storyline. There are some nice flourishes as the current arc of the series comes to a close, but the series has never regained the magic that made it stand out at the beginning.
