dark funny tense fast-paced

5.0

I never thought I would laugh as much as I did with a horror graphic novel. 

I haven’t explored Monstress, so this is my first Liu title. There were some topics that were personally rather triggering, but that is for me to do a better job researching in the future. 

I am definitely interested to pick up book two and see how this world continues to develop. Seeing as my jaw was mostly on the floor throughout with such intense images and twists in the story, I think I need closure at some point. 

If you’re looking for a horror graphic novel that will leave you speechless, here you go.

This was an interesting introduction to the series and characters. The art is hauntingly beautiful and so detailed. I have so many questions that I hope get answered in the subsequent volumes!

Emotionally unavailable mother but there is a reason for it. Basically it might be not a good idea to read if you are very sensitive to tiger mom but like I said, there is a mostly rational explanation for mother's behavior and the comic does not try to downplay the effects it has on the children now as grown ups.
