This comic is hilarious. Booze, drugs, sex, a band of fighter ladies that protect a fantasy town. Cast is diverse as heck, and the swear like a sailor thing is through the roof. The story is not really all that interesting, it's really the characters that you keep reading it for. I'm hoping the plot gets a bit more complex/compelling, but as long as the characters are this entertaining, I'm cool with continuing to read it!
