Praise for Monstress 1. Despertar
“...as ambitious as George R.R. Martin or J.R.R. Tolkien...” —The Los Angeles Review of Books, on the English language edition
"Feels like a battle cry." —Vox.com, on the English language edition
"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, on the English language edition
“Filled to the brim with awesome.” —Kirkus Reviews, on the English language edition
“If you want big, beautiful, terrifying, violent magic, Monstress is your next favorite comic.” —Cosmopolitan, on the English language edition
"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.” —Publishers Weekly, on the English language edition
