Monstress Book One

the long version

Maika Halfwolf lives in a world gripped by war—an alternative, matriarchal 1900s Asia brimming with arcane dangers. As she struggles to overcome the trauma of violence and regain knowledge of her past, she becomes inextricably linked to an eldritch monster of tremendous power. This link will transform them both, and place them in the crosshairs of deadly powers both human and otherworldly. This massive edition collects the first 18 issues of Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda's beloved and multiple award-winning comic series, plus special extras, including never-before-seen sketches.
