MEDIA REVIEWS
"Monstress is a sprawling epic fantasy that dropsreaders into the middle of a magic-filled alternate history. Described as a kindof'matriarchal Asia,'Maika's universe is wracked by a race war and inhabitedby violent witch-nuns,vicious deities,and innocent civilians-all of which isbrought to life by Takeda's exquisite manga-style,Art Deco-inspired art."-The Atlantic"Monstress mixes steampunk and fantasy in the bestway." -Complex"In the center of this world is Maika,a girl who losther mother and most of her left arm and is on a quest for answers or vengeance,whichever comes first. She's defensive,quick to anger,and not entirelyconvinced of her own sanity. In other words,she's a fictional woman imbued withall the faults and flaws of a real one." -New Yorkmagazine/Vulture"World-building on a scale rare in mainstreamcomics."-The Hollywood Reporter"Filled to the brim with awesome."-Kirkus Reviews "Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda take eastern and westerncomics storytelling traditions and styles,and create something wholly their ownand remarkable: a beautifully told story of magic and fear,inhumanity andexploitation,of what it means to be human and the monsters we all carry insideus. Also,some of the best cats in comics. A delight." -NeilGaiman
