    Short summary describing this issue.

    Volume One: Awakening last edited by KillerZ on 01/11/24 06:36AM View full history

    Set in an alternate matriarchal 1900’s Asia, in a richly imagined world of art deco-inflected steampunk, MONSTRESS tells the story of a teenage girl who is struggling to survive the trauma of war, and who shares a mysterious psychic link with a monster of tremendous power, a connection that will transform them both.

    Entertainment Weekly praised MONSTRESS as “one of Image Comics’ most imaginative and daring new series” and dubbed it the “Best New Original Series” in their year-end “Best Comics of 2015” list.

    Collects MONSTRESS #1-6.

    Great world, great story some fresh ideas 0

    Preface:Thanks to Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda for taking so much love and care on creating this world and the amazing art. We read this as part of our Graphic Novel Book Club and it was unanimously appreciated, it was also somewhat controversial, which is always fun.Story:The book focuses on a girl Maika and her quest to figure out what is the nature of a monster she carries inside. That's as short a summary I can give without spoiling and allowing you to discover this world the same way I did....
