"Intricate and detailed, with a definite manga influence, Takeda's artwork creates a lush and dangerous world for Liu's equally dangerous charactersThe work is infused with feminist themes; almost all of the characters are strong-and deadly-women.” -School Library Journal
“World-building on a scale rare in mainstream comics.” -The Hollywood Reporter
"Monstress mixes steampunk and fantasy in the best way." -Complex
"The best way to understand the complicated mythos of Monstress is to dive in headfirst and let it wash over you...On top of that, you don't need to know much to appreciate the breathtaking beauty of Takeda's art. No other comic looks like Monstress. Takeda's painting creates a world where dreamlike and horrific fantasy creatures exist side-by-side with incredibly complex steampunk technology." -Entertainment Weekly
"In the center of this world is Maika, a girl who lost her mother and most of her left arm and is on a quest for answers or vengeance, whichever comes first. She's defensive, quick to anger, and not entirely convinced of her own sanity. In other words, she's a fictional woman imbued with all the faults and flaws of a real one." -New York magazine/Vulture
“Filled to the brim with awesome.” -Kirkus Reviews
