END OF STORY ARC! With war on the horizon-a war no one wants to stop-whose side will Maika choose? That of her friends, or her family?
It's never been more clear that Monstress may be a comic book, but it's also an epic story, done as deftly and masterfully as any of the great fantasy classics. Read Full Review

I will be the first to admit that the reunion between Maika and Kippa made me tear up, and then I had to laugh a couple of panels later when Vihn and Corvin show up and Kippa is in the background, lovingly tangled in Zinn's tentacles. This book has so much going for it, and its "big picture" appeal is absolutely unimpeachable, but there are so many little things strewn throughout it that don't get the mention they deserve. For instance, the Inquisitrix Gull, a character we all associate with the "bad guys", has a tiny white puffball of a dog who follows her everywhere"even when The Doctor had Gull suspended upside-down in an experimental tank. This dog has the derpiest face imaginable, and it pulls a scene together in spite of its incongruous presence. Sometimes the strangest things make something work, and I look forward to more of this in the next arc of Monstress. Read Full Review
