In this episode, we talk about Rat Queens vol. 1 & 2, written by Kurtis J. Weibe, and published by Image. Rat Queens is a GLAAD Media Award winner, and has both strong female characters and good LGBTQ representation, but also had a change in artists due to the original artist being arrested. We talk some about that, but have also included links to various reporting in the notes below.
