Ryan Ferrier, Priscilla Petraites, and Marco Lasko Take Over Rat Queens

Posted on January 24, 2019 by Brett

Kurtis Wiebe has taken to his site to update on the future of his creator-owned series Rat Queens. He admits he’s pretty burnt out on it and that a new creative team will be taking over in April 2019. The series has had its share of controversies.

Wiebe announced that Ryan Ferrier, who lettered the series since 2017, will be taking over writing duties. Ferrier has shown he has the humor for it and I recommend you checking out D4ve for a taste of that.

Priscilla Petraites will be taking over art duties and is joined by Marco Lesko who is handling colors.

The new team will take over in April 2019 with the one shot Rat Queens: Swamp Romp and then full-time with Rat Queens #16 in June.

Wiebe also announced that he’s forming a new creative company, Beast and Bone Studios, with the current Rat Queens artist Owen Gieni. That means new series’ from the two.

Gears of War: The Rise of RAAM

Kurtis J. Wiebe (w) • Max Dunbar (a)

Before he was a general leading the assault against humanity on the surface, RAAM was an upstart commander tasked with waging an unwinnable war against the Lambent to protect the Locust homeland.

With the enemy pushing inexorably forward, RAAM knows the Horde must turn its attention to more vulnerable prey, and he’ll use every atrocity and deception at his disposal to bring Queen Myrrah around to his way of thinking.

See how it all began in this prequel to the original Gears of War, as the Queen’s deadliest servant steers the course of history to bring about Emergence Day and the attack on humans, setting in motion the events of the game!
