Maika and her companions are being pursued by just about every group imaginable as Maika starts to learn more clues about her family.

The story is really going somewhere now, not just with Maika but with other background characters. There is a lot of politics, propaganda, and warfare mixed with the dark fantasy.

Oh, and there's a talking cat with swords. And an eye patch. I mean, does it get any better than that?🐱🐾⚔️

How could I forget how much I love Monstress? The story just keeps getting better with each issue.

The world of Maika and Monstress is one rebuilt after war. Or perhaps to say rebuilt is taking it a step too far. The post-war world is contentious and full of fear. The five races are at odds. Maika continues to search. Will the answers she seeks about herself save or end their world? Thanks to NetGalley and Diamond Book Distributors for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

brendanmleonard Nice work - I definitely need to pick this up. 8y

C'mon Monstress I want to love you as much as I did in the beginning. The artwork is still gorgeous, but there is not enough progress in the story, and I've been feeling it slow down for the last couple of issues. I keep thinking I'm missing something, but I believe it's just that the story is circling itself and not moving forward. #24in48

A savior has come...maybe? The Dusk Court has sent a guide to take Maika to the north. But is he a guide? What about the monster inside Maika? Who is really in control, and what is really going on?
