It's been a while since I read Monstress so it took me a while to remember where this one picked up from and the further I read the more I remembered and the more I was in love with Liu's writing.
The intricate storyline amongst the different characters and how they all interconnect to this point is truly amazing and I can't help but thing how Liu keeps it together. Volume eight opens up to the whole gang being on the prison planet, Monstra, which brings about Zinn's past and present to throw another interesting loop to this complexity and one I never could have seen coming.
The story along with the intricate and beauty of Takeda's drawings is spectacular. The full pages, the details and differences in all the characters are still a sight of beauty. I have no idea what to expect next And I love that about this particular comic.
