"Feels like a battle cry." --Vox.com

"This is stuff that demands to be explained and dares you to turn the page." -The Rainbow Hub

"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." --School Library Journal

"World-building on a scale rare in mainstream comics." --The Hollywood Reporter

"Something entirely different" -Hypable

"For page after gorgeous page, Monstress engulfs the reader in layers of masterfully drawn figures, textures and details."-- "NPR"
