About this item

Set in an alternate matriarchal 1900's Asia, in a richly imagined world of art deco-inflected steam punk, MONSTRESS tells the story of a teenage girl who is struggling to survive the trauma of war, and who shares a mysterious psychic link with a monster of tremendous power, a connection that will transform them both and make them the target of both human and otherworldly powers. MONSTRESS #1 debuted to critical praise, with The Hollywood Reporter remarking that the first issue was "world-building on a scale rare in mainstream comics" and Vox.com declaring that the book "feels like a battle cry." About the Creators: New York Times bestselling and award-winning writer Marjorie Liu is best known for her fiction and comic books.
