I was hard-pressed not to screen-cap every page for y’all, because the art is just that gorgeous. The detail on every page is incredible, her characters feel lived-in, and with all of that, she doesn’t elide the brutality our main character, Maika, both faces and dispenses in just about every issue. Sana Takeda’s art is beautiful and dreamy and gives this work of fantasy an extraordinarily epic feel. ![]() You see that cover? Every page of Monstress is of equivalent, if not greater, beauty to that cover. ![]() ![]() I’m going to start keeping records on how many books that bloggers scream about for one million years before I get around to reading them, and then when I finally do read them, it’s like “Well I should have done this a while ago.” Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda’s book Monstress, which in my defense has been checked out steadily from my library since the trade paperback came out (but I didn’t put a hold on it so it’s still my own fault), is one of those. ![]()
