Monstress, Vol. 5: Warchild by Sana Takeda, Marjorie Liu

5.0

I thought the fourth volume in this series had lost a bit of its stride, the story getting too big. The fifth volume, though, is a brilliant collection that reminds me why I love this series so much. Best of all, it sees Maika Halfwolf starting to embrace a bigger role for herself in the world. Watching this change in Maika is both exciting and terrifying (and I love it!). Most of all, Kippa is turning into an even more important character within this story with a mystery of her own to be unraveled.

When people on social media ask for people to name their favorite comic book series, my answer is always “Monstress.” Can’t recommend it enough.
