Monstress #43 delivers another outstanding chapter to this saga. It brings all the elements of a comic book, story, art, and solid lettering, to deliver an engaging tale that leaves the reader anxiously awaiting what next month's story will bring. Read Full Review
I love this issue of Monstress. The art is, as it always is, fantastic, but it's at a new level this issue as we go into a completely new world one that looks beautiful but has horrible purpose. Read Full Review
If ever a series needed a large "who's who" issue, this is it.
I'm all for wackadoodle bonkers in a comic but the story and overarching narrative of this book seems to have gotten lost. Liu admits to writing as 'flying by the seat of her pants'. If you look up the origin of that phrase it means 'flying without the ability to communicate or fully plan things out'; yeah that sounds about right. No doubting Takeda's glorious art which is gallery worthy but this comic is officially off the rails like dozens of other trains in the USA. Full take at:
