This is a slightly oversized hardcover that collects the first ten issues and has a couple of extras.
The hardcover is extremely sturdy and opens and lays flat making reading a joy. There is no dust jacket but the silver embossing is very attractive. The art doesn’t really benefit from being 10% larger but the tactile experience is perfect.
Included is the Rat Queens special featuring Braga’s origin story and a couple of single page gags. There are all the covers, including unused ones and a few sketches. Unusually there is no editorial or even a forward. It would have been nice to find out more about the creation of this unusual title.
If you haven’t picked up the first two trades then this is definitely a good way to start reading.
