Editorial Reviews
Review
"Monstress mixes steampunk and fantasy in the best way." -Complex
"Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda take eastern and western comics storytelling traditions and styles, and create something wholly their own and remarkable: a beautifully told story of magic and fear, inhumanity and exploitation, of what it means to be human and the monsters we all carry inside us. Also, some of the best cats in comics. A delight." -Neil Gaiman
“If you want big, beautiful, terrifying, violent magic, Monstress is your next favorite comic.” -Cosmopolitan
"Liu's accomplishment is impressive. She's created characters who feel larger than life, but whose motivations and values are almost always obscure.” -NPR
“Filled to the brim with awesome.” -Kirkus Reviews
Review
“Filled to the brim with awesome.” -Kirkus Reviews
“If you want big, beautiful, terrifying, violent magic, Monstress is your next favorite comic.” -Cosmopolitan
"Liu and Takeda have created a vivid, dynamic world, sort of a steampunk Asia of a century ago, and populated it with sharp characters and an intricate mythology that incorporates gods, monsters and everything in between. Female characters dominate Liu's story line - which unfolds bit by bit like a novel through Takeda's gorgeous sequential panels-and touches on themes of race, war, duality, friendships and the meaning of family. In all my decades of reading comics, I've never seen anything quite like Monstress, and even though it falls in the category of epic fantasy, it also confirms my suspicion that sarcastic cats are secretly in charge of everything." -The New York Times
“...as ambitious as George R.R. Martin or J.R.R. Tolkien...” -The Los Angeles Review of Books
"Takeda's visuals recall realistic, gritty manga such as Lone Wolf and Cub, with magic and monsters to rival those of Hayao Miyazaki's films.” -Publishers Weekly
About the Author
Sana Takeda is based in Japan and is best known in the United States for working with Marjorie Liu, most recently on their hit fantasy series MONSTRESS.

Overall, the series is interesting. I am not super tied to the plot and more or less indifferent to the main character, but I like Master Ren the cat and Kippa the half fox. Something about them is compelling. I think the indifference to the plot is that it takes a while to figure out what is going on. The back story is only slowly revealed. And there's a lot of characters and other stuff going on. It's a fantasy problem where there's so much world building needed and the question as an artist is how to reveal that to the reader. The exposition dump is not front loaded so it takes time.
The really notable thing remains the artwork It's beautiful and lush and detailed. Every panel is a work of art.
