Book great, Amazon less so
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 July 2024Another brilliant volume. Great art, great story. Continues to pull me in and I want more! Amazon however just shoved it in a brown cardboard boxy envelope thing along with some DIY bits I had ordered. No other protective measures. You can imagine how nice the book looked when it arrived... You get what you pay for with Amazon. If it's cheaper, there's a reason, sadly...

Superb new volume
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2020Outstanding horror fantasy, some mysteries answered but most are not, and new ones to contend with. Brutal warfare, intrigue and machinations. Artwork stunning but slightly less so than earlier volumes. Magnificent!

Just a shame it arrived splattered with what can only be described as candle wax?? Or some kind of greasy soap.

Massimo Toma4 out of 5 starsStoria stupenda, errore di rilegatura
Reviewed in Italy on 15 November 2020Seguo la serie dal principio, e come sempre nulla da dire sui contenuti, ma la rilegatura ha un fastidioso errore di stampa; inoltre uno degli angoli è stato rovinato dal trasporto, cosa che accade sempre più ultimamente con le consegne di fumetti da Amazon.

Corey Beth5 out of 5 starsMonstress continue to excell
Reviewed in the United States on 27 October 2024I'm not even surprised anymore by how incredible each new volume of Monstress is. Volume 5, Warchild, is no exception. The story continues to progress, the plot thickening as the different factions have come to war. This volume was especially exciting, as several characters’ from different plot threads begin to cross paths. This volume is also heavy on character development, as we finally get to see what happened in Constantine. While Zinn is reeling from the return of some disturbing memories, Maika has gained confidence and begun to embrace what she is. Maika, Corvin, and Kippa make a stand to protect the city of Ravenna from the invading Cumean army. We got more revelations about the Cumea, and experience unexpected developments in almost every storyline. Kippa has been a favorite of mine since the first volume, and it has been fun watching her grow up over the last few volumes. The relationship between she and Maika continues to evolve. As compelling and complex as the plot is, my favorite element of this graphic novel from the start has been the gorgeous art of Sana Takeda. She paints every scene with vivid life, from the gruesome horror of war, to the depth of emotion conveyed in the expressions of the characters. Monstress is easily one of the best graphic novels I have ever read, and so far each volume only gets better as the story becomes larger and more engrossing. Worldbuilding, plot, and character development are on another level, placing this story in a class of its own. If you are a fan of epic fantasy set in an immersive world with a vast array of intriguing characters, and you haven't picked up the first issue/volume/omnibus of Monstress yet, all I can say is, *what are you waiting for?*
