MONSTRESS Vol. 2 This Week!

ATTENTION: Just a friendly reminder, new comic books will be available Thursday, July 6th this week instead of Wednesday due to the Holiday! Thanks!

MONSTRESS is definitely a book you should be reading. Writer Marjorie Liu and artist Sana Takeda have created something truly special here. The universe they have created is mysterious, beautiful, scary, and brimming with interesting characters. And the level of detail put into each and every panel is simply brain-melting. MONSTRESS is the complete package and is just begging to be brought to life as an animation.

Catching up on this series is easy. The first collected volume is already out consisting of issues #1-6. And volume 2 lands this week catching you up completely with issues #7-12. If you have not ventured into this book yet, I highly recommend picking up both volume 1 and 2 at the same time to save you the inevitable trip back. You’re going to want all the MONSTRESS you can get your mitts on!

The Eisner-nominated MONSTRESS is back! Maika, Kippa, and Ren journey to Thyria in search of answers to her past…and discover a terrible new threat. Collects MONSTRESS #7-12.

While I will always recommend picking up single issues as they release, I can admit when a book works better when read in a collection. MONSTRESS is one of these books. The world is dense and full of mystery and the character relationships are as layered as an onion. I’ve read the singles as they came out, and I revisit the story when a collected volume arrives. I have to admit, bingeing  the issues in the collected volume is definitely the way to go with this series. 

Just do yourself a favor, get to the comic shop and flip through this book for 5 seconds. I’m sure you’ll make the right decision.
