Ashley A Woods is an artist that Bleeding Cool has paid keen attention to, since her work on Niobe: She Is Life, and what appears to have been an aborted stint on Marvel's Blade series.

With Star Wars novelist, Deliah S Dawson, she now has a new title, launching from Boom! And it looks like it may be hitting all those right buttons.

Can we say… Rat Queens meets Lumberjanes?

LADYCASTLE #1 (OF 4)

Retail Price: $3.99

When King Mancastle and his mighty vassals ride off on crusade, the women left behind are not at all put out—that's a lot less armor polishing for them to do. Of course, when the men get themselves eaten by a dragon and leave a curse that attracts monsters to the castle…well, the women take umbrage with that.
Now the blacksmith's wife Merinoris King, Princess Aeve is the Captain, and the only remaining (and least capable) knight Sir Riddick is tasked with teaching the ladies of the castle how to fight, defend, build, and do all manner of noisy things the men had been doing while the women assumed they were just drunk.
Novelist Delilah S. Dawson (Star Wars: The Perfect Weapon, As Wicked as She Wants, Wake of Vultures) brings her first original series to comics, and is joined by breakthrough illustrator Ashley A. Woods (Niobe: She Is Life) for a rollicking fantasy adventure featuring women reclaiming their lives on their terms.
