I will never get enough of this series. Its magic, world, characters, dialogue, and action are truly god tier. I loved seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones.

This story was packed with action and it did not hold back in its bloodiness. We also learned more about Maika and her past, admired Kippa’s heart and learned about my personal favourite, Corvin. I can only hope for more of them in the future.

This is my favourite graphic novel series and everyone who loves epic, highly imaginative, and dark fantasy.

I don’t know what I can say about this series that I haven’t before. It’s still brutal and brilliant with some of the best art and world building I’ve ever seen. 

We finally got to see what happened at Constantine! This team does satisfying, slow reveals so well. Every volume of this series has been brutal, but as this one shows in realtime an active battle/siege of a city, it might be the most brutal so far. 

Kippa continues to be one of my all-time favorite characters in any medium. & of course, “never assume you know everything about a cat.”

Kippa literally warms my heart. Ugh! I truly adore seeing Maika and Kippa caring for each other.

Plus, this entire storyline is fascinating. I'm going to have to follow the issues that start to release. It's too good not to follow, but I am sad that I have nothing left to read until January 2021.

Monstress is definitely my top favorite of all comics. It's such a masterpiece.
