Liu's accomplishment is impressive. She's created characters who feel larger than life, but whose motivations and values are almost always obscure. <p/><br><br>"Something entirely different" -<b><i>Hypable </i></b> <p/><br><br>Liu's accomplishment is impressive. She's created characters who feel larger than life, but whose motivations and values are almost always obscure." --<b>NPR</b><br><br><br>Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda take eastern and western comics storytelling traditions and styles, and create something wholly their own and remarkable: a beautifully told story of magic and fear, inhumanity and exploitation, of what it means to be human and the monsters we all carry inside us. Also, some of the best cats in comics. A delight. -<b>Neil Gaiman</b> <p/><br><br>This is stuff that demands to be explained and dares you to turn the page. -<b><i>The Rainbow Hub </i></b> <p/><br>
