I love this series. There's not a lot I can say as this is issue seven. But I really liked this issue and I'd recommend this series. Volume two with issues 7-12 will be out soon so I'd personally just wait to continue on. This series is better to binge read than to read one issue at a time. Especially since once you start reading its hard to stop. Also who doesn't love wise cats with multiple tails. Professor tamtam is an amazing cat. I love his insights at the end of every issue.

Monstress is back!

Issue #6 of Monstress had wrapped up the previous story arc and signaled the release of a trade paperback, so I wondered how strong of an issue #7 would have to be to convince readers to come back into the world.

Of course, issue #7 was fantastic. We find ourselves in a new part of the world with seafaring ships and talks of lost islands so far away that entire crews would starve trying to reach them.

We saw the childhood home of Maika half wolf, and it is definitely not what I was expecting.

The people here in the dock town seem to live a different lifestyle than ones we have met before. They seem to have manged to thrive through the war and its aftermath, giving them a very different worldview from Maika. Sana Takeda makes the difference in place apparent in her use of colors.

This series features many beings who are part animal, or humanoid animal, and I really have to wonder if I would have been interested in this story if Takeda and her extremely detailed, sophisticated, art was not on the project. Done differently, I think it could have run the risk of looking like adult Kung Fu Panda, and I am sure I would have passed right by that on the shelf.
