Monstress, Vol. 4: The Chosen by Marjorie Liu, Sana Takeda

3.0

A lot of things that sold me on these comics remain strong: the fiery and unapologetically ruthless female lead; the evocative and original art; the detailed and imaginative world-building. However, in some ways I find the story is so complex that it doesn't actually lend itself to the graphic form: it's constantly a challenge to figure out what's happening and who is who. I feel like I need to take notes! That being said, I enjoyed this volume, and found it an intriguing mixture of aesthetically pleasing and extremely gross.
