Everyone has a little monster inside, but in the hands of Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda, the concept takes on a much more literal, and exhilarating, turn. Collecting the first six issues of Image Comics' hit, including the oversized issue #1, Monstress: Volume One is a brilliant, beautiful read filled to the brim with layered storytelling and captivating art. It's as confident a series as you're like to see, and one we're confident belongs in your bookshelf.
Set in a world populated by humans, magical half-breeds and evil sorceresses alike, this first arc follows Maika Halfwolf, a humanoid Arcanic with a dark past and a tortured present. At odds with The Cumaea, a coven of witches who use the Arcanic's own life force to feed their wicked ways, Maika's journey is at once investing. Slavery, racism, the horrors of war - Maika's world is a bleak one, and the book doesn't shy away from presenting its harsh realities. Of course, there's more to Maika than simply meets the eye, and with a war between the Arcanics and The Cumaea brewing, Maika's secret puts her squarely in the crosshairs.
