Monstress, Vol. 4 by Marjorie M. Liu5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Not surprisingly, it's piled up a stack of awards - including five Eisners last year - and critics have almost uniformly celebrated it. From the very first page of this volume, containing issues 1-18, Monstress is so assured, elegant and beautifully drawn that it practically compels acclaim. But since nothing between the covers of Monstress is merely "nice" - chilling, puzzling, engaging and enraging, but definitely not "nice" - it's no wonder that evaluating it doesn't feel like a "nice" task. You'd think it would be nice sometimes to have the chance to assess, not just whether a work is great, but precisely what degree of perfection it attains. Yep, "great" is definitely the word to use. Let's get one thing straight: Monstress, Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda's wildly successful graphical epic, is great. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
