Rat Queens, the Animated TV Series

RatQueens_01_CVR_FINAL_smIt is being reported by Variety that Kurtis Weibe and Roc Upchuch‘s comic series Rat Queens is being adapted into an animated television series courtesy of Weta Workshop‘s Pukeko Pictures and Heavy Metal. The plan is the develop the comics into a 30 minute show, and then pitching it to TV networks.

The fantasy series features an all female team, and is a popular series, breaking out with a solid female fan base, leading an explosion of such comics to the market. The series is published by Image Comics‘ partner Shadowline.

This is the second series of Weibe’s to be adapted. His other Image comic Peter Panzerfaust is being adapted by BBC Worldwide. Heavy Metal is also producing that.

Artists from Rat Queens and Peter Panzerfaust swap covers

The August releases of two bestselling Shadowline series written by Kurtis J. Wiebe, Rat Queens #8 and Peter Panzerfaust #21, will feature covers by each other’s artists. Additionally, a special retailer incentive cover B diptych by Michael Avon Oeming will be available for both books.

Rat Queens artist Roc Upchurch will draw Cover A for Peter Panzerfaust. “Being a Peter Panzerfaust fan, I jumped at the chance to do a Wendy cover,” said Upchurch. “This is, by far, the best incarnation of Wendy Darling to date. I hope I did her justice (though, I probably did not).”

This twenty-first issue begins a new story arc for the series, providing a perfect opportunity for fans of Upchurch’s Rat Queens work to try out this series as well. Together at last, Peter, the Darlings, and the remaining Lost Boys embed themselves in the dangerous heart of Paris. With the Hook hot on their heels, it is only a matter of time before they are discovered. But as ever, Peter is not without a plan!

Peter Panzerfaust artist Tyler Jenkins will draw cover A for Rat Queens. “As far away from anything I get to draw on a regular basis and easily the most fun I have had doing almost any cover,” said Jenkins. “These characters seriously Roc(k).”

In this issue the Rat Queens continue their blade-swinging snark in part three of “The Far Reaching Tentacles of N’Rygoth.” And this time, enemies better watch their backs.

Peter Panzerfaust #21 will be available on 8/13 for $3.50 and can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code JUN140493. Rat Queens #8 will feature a wrap-around cover, will be available 8/6 for $3.50, and can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code JUN140495.

“Gold, Guts and Grog,” Part Five

Well, Palisade has seen better days. It stinks like orc blood. There are bits of troll all over the place. Worst of all, the famous booze ship, Drowned Sorrows, sank to the bottom of the harbor in the attack. This era of Palisade will forever be known as THE DRY SPELL.

One tablespoon of cayenne peppers, 2 ounces of 100 proof vodka, and 3 ounces of tomato juice makes one fantastic Bloody Murder. So does double-crossing the Rat Queens and foolishly thinking you can get away with it. Drink up!
