Image Comics’ Rat Queens — which earned IGN’s Best Comic of the Month back in January, by the way — is getting the animated series treatment, thanks to Weta Workshop’s Pukeko Pictures and Heavy Metal.
For those out of loop (which you shouldn’t be, because Rat Queens is awesome!), Kurtis J. Weibe and Roc Upchurch created the dark fantasy-comedy comic, which follows four miscreant maidens — Hannah the Rockabilly Elven Mage, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter, Dee the Atheist Human Cleric and Betty the Hippy Smidgen Thief — who are hired to kill monsters and other such evils.
