Marjorie Liu’s ‘Monstress’ is one of those utterly gorgeous graphic novel series that you just KNOW would translate into a beautiful movie adaptation–but these graphic novels are also worth noting for their overall story and execution! We highly encourage fantasy/sci-fi lovers to add this to your TBR *now* and check it out when you have time to get sucked into a new world. Read on to learn more:
Steampunk meets Kaiju in this original fantasy epic for mature readers. Set in an alternate matriarchal 1900’s Asia, in a richly imagined world of art deco-inflected steam punk, MONSTRESS tells the story of a teenage girl (young Maika Halfwolf) who is struggling to survive the trauma of war, and who shares a mysterious psychic link with a monster of tremendous power, a connection that will transform them both and make them the target of both human and otherworldly powers. Five volumes are currently available to read with volume six expected to publish in September 2021.
