One of the most brutal adventures I've ever read. ( )

The artwork is so unique in this comic- very dark, intricate, and mystical looking. Between that and the intriguing mystery of what lies within the main character and why, this first volume of The Monstress had me interested enough to continue to the second one. I will say the story can get a bit confusing and the bits where there are full page history lessons is a little boring but overall it is interesting. I would say it is even worth reading for the artwork honestly.

I was attracted to this immediately because of the jaw-dropping art deco meets steampunk meets manga artwork but I was NOT expecting the crazy amazing story inside. To me, this read like a novel and I’ve already teed myself up for the next installment. ( )
