Image Comics announces a new creative team ahead of the release of Rat Queens #16. The introduction of the new creative team comes in the form of a Rat Queens One-Shot Special “Rat Queens: Swamp Romp” by Ryan Ferrier and Priscilla Petraites. Ferrier and Petraites will also be taking over the ongoing series Rat Queens series along with Marco Lesco starting with Rat Queens #16. You can check out a free preview for both issues below, courtesy of Image Comics.

Dragons. Monsters. Tricksters. The Rat Queens have seen—and slayed!—it all. But in Rat Queens Special: Swamp Romp a dying man of great wealth hires our heroes to exact revenge for the murder of his prized unicorn. Betty, Hannah, Braga, Violet, and Dee are suddenly thrust into a quest that may bring them face-to-face with a mythological creature thought only to exist in bedtime stories. This is Palisade’s urban legend, and it will end with either death or a mass fortune.
Following the one-shot, Ferrier and Petraites will team up with Marco Lesko and take the reins of the ongoing title starting with Rat Queens #16 this June. The issue will kick-off a new story arc called, The Once and Future King: Part One. In the wake of great change, readers witness the Rat Queens as they struggle to reclaim their sisterhood—just as a mysterious force of great vengeance sets its sights on Palisade. For our incorrigible band of adventurers, it’s personal.
