Monstress is the story of Makia, a 17 year old who has grown up around war and she has lost so much. She has a psychic link with an entity inside of her, one that she struggles to control. She sets out on a mission and she ends up traveling/escaping with some friends after she finishes said mission.
This was really entertaining and I had so many questions after the first volume, I'm so excited to dig into the later volumes to see if my questions will be answered. I really enjoyed this comic so I'm giving it a 5 out of 5 stars!

Despite that absolutely cringe worthy use of Spanish in that sentence, this comic is a masterpiece. WOW. I went in not knowing exactly what to expect, but I was taken aback by the breathtaking art, and punched in the gut by the story.
I am a sucker for a comic with poets quoting cats, adorable half foxes, and an MC that you want to like but can't help to distrust. This story is NOT for the faint of heart, it is dark and harrowing, and at times filled with hopelessness. A story of war and oppression, we are presented with some heartbreaking and gut wrenching imagery.
Within all the darkness is a story of a young girl trying to find her past, understand her powers, and protect those she loves. A fantastic story, that can only continue to get better.

There was so much amazing detail, completely entrancing, I probably skipped over the narrative bubbles lol.
Our MC is a complete BADASS and has a mysterious darkness to her that wants to basically kill anyone lol.
Little fox and the kitty were my favorite characters, they're so stinking cute!!!
The detailed architect just swept me away and I spent extra time just admiring the works of art.
Even with its gory scenes, I was able to look past it, though it did turn my stomach.
I'm excited to continue with the next volumes 🥰
