Monstress #11 is a revealing issue that explores some interesting plot developments as it pushes toward the end of the second story arc. Things are getting interesting as we delve deeper into Maika's personal history and her blood connection to the mask and the Monstrum. I'm looking forward to the following issue and seeing what Maika plans to do with this newly discovered information. Read Full Review
While the actual content - Monstrum betrayal! Blood foxes! Nekomancy! - is fun enough, it's how Liu integrates the various reveals that's most impressive. This is a big world getting ever bigger, yet Liu never allows the widening lens to take away from the more immediate story at hand. Read Full Review
This may have been a weaker issue of a consistent and well threaded comic however that doesn't mean it's failed at keeping interest or guiding the reader along to some pearls of the plot we have yet to string together. Read Full Review
The Status may be Quo, but that's not always a bad thing when the art is this good. Read Full Review
I took my time reading this issue to savour it. The ominous mood is intoxicating as this Blood Fox tells the tale of Maika's mother, with a sudden rush of adrenaline spiking the plot into high gear for the looming cliffhanger. It goes without saying how impressive the artwork is, but I'm also impressed with the vocabulary that Liu brings to her dialogue. I just can't recommend Monstress enough.
Really liked this issue. Thought that finally getting some backstory (and some actual camaraderie between a girl and her arm) was exactly what was needed at this point. I'm also quite interested in seeing what they do with this new character for the team. Can't wait for the next one!
