dark funny tense fast-paced

5.0

I never thought I would laugh as much as I did with a horror graphic novel. 

I haven’t explored Monstress, so this is my first Liu title. There were some topics that were personally rather triggering, but that is for me to do a better job researching in the future. 

I am definitely interested to pick up book two and see how this world continues to develop. Seeing as my jaw was mostly on the floor throughout with such intense images and twists in the story, I think I need closure at some point. 

If you’re looking for a horror graphic novel that will leave you speechless, here you go.

This was an interesting introduction to the series and characters. The art is hauntingly beautiful and so detailed. I have so many questions that I hope get answered in the subsequent volumes!

I’m fascinated by this world and these characters. I have so many questions!! I can’t wait for the next two books. 

I loved the art style. Some of the horror scenes reminded me of Junji Ito which was very cool. I liked the soft feeling the coloring gave—despite the ominous subject.
