Collecting the first 18 issues of the New York Times bestselling series, this massive edition features a striking new cover, as well as special extras, including never-before-seen sketches, script pages, and more for over 500 pages of award-winning content. <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Filled to the brim with awesome." --<b>Kirkus Reviews </b><br><br><br>Takeda's visuals recall realistic, gritty manga such as Lone Wolf and Cub, with magic and monsters to rival those of Hayao Miyazaki's films." --<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br><br><br>"If you want big, beautiful, terrifying, violent magic, Monstress is your next favorite comic." --<b><i>Cosmopolitan </i></b><br><br><br>Feels like a battle cry. --<b>Vox.com</b><br><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>Intricate and detailed, with a definite manga influence, Takeda's artwork creates a lush and dangerous world for Liu's equally dangerous characters. The work is infused with feminist themes; almost all of the characters are strong--and deadly--women." --<b><i>School Library Journal</i></b><br><br>
