During a day of questionable choices at Space Pride, Max & Alex bump into their old boss. The grumpy little simian tries to dragoon them into chasing down a runaway heir to the throne of Sarelia, an alien planet ruled by a brutal patriarchy. Little does he know that the heir in question is closely connected to Alex. As Alex and Max race to save the runaway heir from a galaxy-wide bounty hunt, they'll dredge up Alex's past and confront her planet's misogynist present. If that means burning the patriarchy to the ground, well, get out the torches.

The newest volume of Killer Queens maintains the fun tone set by the previous miniseries. The new story is certainly interesting with the introduction of Alex's sibling, and I'm looking forward to learning more about their past together. One thing I liked here more than the previous run was the art. It's not the greatest art in the world, but it was a definite improvement over what we ere getting before. Overall, this was a nice start to the new Killer Queens series and I'm intrigued to see how this story develops.
