Monstress Volume 1: Awakening
Monstress Volume 1: Awakening

Dark fantasy epic in matriarchal steampunk Asia.

If you're into graphic novels that effortlessly blend dark fantasy with rich cultural tapestries, "Monstress Volume 1: Awakening" could be a journey worth taking. Marjorie Liu's storytelling, coupled with Sana Takeda's stunning art-deco and steampunk inspired illustrations, creates a matriarchal Asia that's as captivating as it is brutal. The psychic bond between a girl and a monster makes for a nuanced and gripping narrative, all while immersing you in a beautifully terrifying world that manages to be both familiar and utterly alien.
