Didn't see this coming. Great fit to draw the book until a permanent, not as busy, artist is found.
I do, however, hope that Upchurch is given a chance to come back to the title if not convicted.

Sejic is a fine artist.

This is an extremely big move for Rat Queens, the type of thing that is probably going to save the book. Sejic is tailor-made for this type of book. I thought Upchurch's art was excellent but if anything Sejic is probably an upgrade, as his style is definitely more unique and is really hot right now. He draws fantasy, females, and comedy really well...it's a brilliant move, a no-brainer, too-good-to-be-true for fans of the series. Personally I think all parties involved would be better if Sejic was the new permanent artist and moved away from his Top Cow work. If I remember correctly, Rat Queens has already been picked up for a cartoon or a film or something, and has a very strong fan following. I think as a franchise it has a much higher ceiling than anything at Top Cow.
I really dislike Weibe's humor on Rat Queens (I think it's all nonstop dumb dick jokes that aren't even executed that well), but Sejic is such a good choice here that it's made me kind of want to hop on board.Image Comics (TPB):

"Wow" was what I literally said out loud when I read this thread title. Great news.
I honestly agree w/ you. It's forced, crude humor and I even wanna say only 1, maybe 2 of the RQs have tolerable personalities for me. But, the stories/plots are interesting, some characters and events are funny, and I'm a sucker for fantasy settings, so I'm probably always on board for this!

Heh, I was talking to my bf when I saw the headline of this the other day and in mid sentence I said out loud, "Holy ****!!"
This is quite the news.
