Gr 8 Up—This graphic novel is as difficult to categorize as the fashion footwear bearing the same name. Princess Ulga, unflatteringly nicknamed Ugg, is depicted as a young woman who does not fit the conventional mold of beauty or intelligence, but who is beautiful, intelligent, and determined to succeed in her quest to learn about the peace of the lowlanders. She is capable of fighting and beheading trolls and ogres, but it is the challenge of making friends with mean girls that nearly undoes her. There are multiple paradoxes in the story. Princess Ulga, when placed next to the other princesses, appears squat and heavily muscled yet she retains the wasp waist and hourglass curves that continue to be culturally revered as attractive. Her manners are course and rough, and she is illiterate, but she has a sense of tenacity that is prized in American culture. Naifeh, Ulga's creator, imbues the tale with a little cultural diversity in his inclusion of mean girl princesses who have Asian and African features, though Ulga's nemesis is the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Princess Julifer with whom she is forced to room. A bloodless beheading and a shower scene with implied nudity render this a title that should be added to lower grades with caution. VERDICT There are several competing ideas within the story, but the one that seems to hold pride of place is the message that to assign value or worth based on outward appearance is to miss out on the greater value of the person or thing.—Jodeana Kruse, R.A. Long High School, Longview, WA
Review
- "It's definitely a great start to a good all-ages comic, the kind that gets categorized as YA or children's lit but is really a good story for everyone, just minus the grimdarkgrittiness that gets something labeled as "mature" or "adult.""- The Mary Sue
- "Hail and well met, indeed." 9/10- Newsarama
- "The Disney Company has pretty much owned the word "princess" since Snow White burped onto the movie scene in 1937...But if you're a little girl reading this article on a website named Brutal as Hell, you might've been a different kind of princess, someone more like Princess Ulga...it's enjoyable for any gender or age." -Brutal As Hell

Fun
By Talvi
Upon reading this title, which compiles the first 4 issues of the comics, I did have concerns that this could fall very flat. For one, we have the well trod motif of fish out of water - will this be an inane comedy, a mean girls retread, or just fall flat? For another, is this a title that Ted Naifeh fans will love but others not indoctrinated won't appreciate? It turns out, this is neither. What we have is a story full of empathy - and about empathy.
Story: Princess Ulga is descended from a long line of Valkyrie like warrior queens. Her Kingdom is constantly besieged by barbarians and their land knows only battle and loss. Before her death, her mother presses Ulga to find another way and end the stalemate. To find a solution, Ulga leaves her homeland and travels to the warm south to a princess school. There, she will have to learn to bridge the gap between her rough life and the pampered princesses in whose company she finds herself. But the other princesses are not going to make it easy for "Princess Ugg", as they call her.
What I liked about the story is that it isn't so much about catty girls full of rainbows and unicorns (ok, maybe there IS a unicorn in there). Nor will Ulga have to conform to the princesses in order to fit in. Rather, by the end of this first volume, it is clear that Ulga will have to learn how to bend in their direction but at the same time also find a way to get the princesses to bend in her direction. This diplomacy will be the cornerstone of the knowledge she will need to find a compromise between her kingdom and the barbarians.
The volume doesn't quite complete a story arc; what we have is Ulga ready to run away but by the end, finding an unlikely ally who will convince her to stay. It will be interesting to see how Naifeh translates the conflict with the princesses into knowledge needed for her kingdom in the future.
The artwork is lovely. Though Ulga is short and muscular (and almost 'chibi', to use a manga term), the colors are bright and well chosen. I enjoyed the illustrations as much as the story (perhaps more so), especially since the princesses represented several cultures.
I did rank this down a star, 4 out of 5, due to a few issues that bothered. I wish Ulga didn't talk like a Scottsman. It was incongruous with all the Norse mythology. I would rather she had sounded abrupt, boastful of her proud heritage, and rude (as was shown in the scenes of her Kingdom). I also wish the Norse mythology wasn't so obvious. I would have liked more imaginative fantasy and less lazy writing that just steals wholesale from an established culture. In a story with unicorns, the less reality, the better here. There were also some inconsistencies in the artwork that were a bit distracting.
Ulga is a wonderful character, though. Both assured and unsure about herself, desperate to find an answer to her kingdom's problems but not sure the princess school is the solution, but determined to find a solution. I'm glad this isn't about transforming the warrior into a beautiful princess.
In all, I did enjoy this and look forward to the next volume.

Crumrin-esque
By Pop Bop
Like you, I mourned the end of the Courtney Crumrin saga. But, before the ink was even dry on Crumrin's volume 6 this new Princess Ugg saga appeared. What do we think?
The tale is hardly novel. Princess Ulga is sent from a rough and tumble mountain kingdom to be educated along with other princesses in the sunny, soft capital city of a neighboring kingdom. She rooms with a girly girl princess who abhor's Princess Ugg's, (that's what the other princesses call her), crude ways. Mayhem - physical, social, mental and cultural - ensues. The rest of the plot you can probably guess.
But, of course, that's not really the point. Princess Ulga is Courtney Crumrin with a sword, a lively mind, and a subtle and wry style that disarms any critic. This volume collects the first four issues of the comic, so it is still sort of finding its way. We are occupied with setting Princess Ulga's back story and introducing her to the Princess Academy. Who her friends will ultimately turn out to be hasn't shaken out yet. It does appear that there will be political intrigue, battle, and a lot of lessons learned in the series' future.
In the meantime, Princess Ulga is an engaging character. She has a lot of spirit and confidence, at least regarding the things she knows, like warcraft, horsemanship, combat and the like. Her social progress is a nice balance of lessons she teaches to the soft princesses and lessons she learns from her experiences.
The drawing is effective, and characters are full of visual appeal and personality. Action is easy to follow and scenes are crisply set.
Like Courtney Crumrin this is a heroine with great appeal and the potential for humor and the touching moment. Her combination of toughness and vulnerability makes her a very engaging character and it looks like she will be in good hands as the series progresses. This struck me as a nice find.
Please note that I received a free ecopy of this book in exchange for a candid review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.

A fund series with a strong female lead
By Gorelenore
I love Ted Naifeh and the Courtney Crumrin stories so when I got Princess Ugg #1 from Oni Press for review I was SUPER excited to see he wrote it. Princess Ugla is about a girl who is… well… a barbarian, and in this issue she is leaving her home to attend school in a more civilized place. When she arrives all sorts of craziness happens and she has a run in with the princess of the kingdom she is staying in.
Overall this was a great start to a new series, there were a few laugh-out-loud kind of moments and I think Ulga is a wonderful lead female who is strong and stubborn and will be fun to follow as the series progresses. Four stars and I look forward to reading more.
Merged review:
Before getting the first Volume of Princess Ugg from Netgalley I had already read issues one and two of the series; I was excited to read the third issue through this volume and see all the awesome extras that they tend to add to the graphic novels. I was not disappointed. The bonus material was wonderful, images from other artists, variant covers – all of which were fitting and wonderful. I really like this series.
This series is a lot of fun so I have included my reviews of the individual issues below.
Issue #1

Issue #2
First off, I have to say that I am really enjoying this series. Princess Ugg is a wonderful character and I think that other readers will enjoy her story as I have. I hope that you can pick it up, happy reading!
Princess Ulga is now in the Princess Academy and trying to fit in, only she can’t; she is too buff, too focused on killing, and not feminine enough for these women. As she struggles through the process of trying to be proper and lady-like she finds herself surrounded by other princesses but so very alone and it starts to take a toll on her.
Where the first issue of this series was funny due to Ulga’s misfortune and ignorance of this new land, this issue is a little depressing. I was sad to see Ulga in this situation, as a strong female but still put down by those around her. I hope that in coming issues she can believe in herself. Issue #2 was another great installment in this new series.
Issue #3
Oh Ulga, I think you are wonderful. In this installment Ugg is trying to really adapt to her school and the people and it is the beginning of a new chapter for her. We get a lot more of her back-story as well and I loved that. The art is spectacular, characters are super detailed throughout and I love the way this story is progressing. I really love the character development in this series, it is SO good; Ulga is adapting and the other girls aren’t quite as annoying as before. This issue again brought back some of those really funny moments which I really liked, only they are spun around and not due to misfortune or accidents.
