Monstress

Anyone know when the TPB is due / if it has been solicited?

I feel like three issues in, it's really good, but I have not quite emotionally connected with it yet. Image comics are increasingly doing the East of West thing where they just launch you into byzantine world-building (Mirror, 8House, etc.), but I'm growing a little tired of struggling with the names of factions, families, magical species, that I don't understand without having an emotional reason to do so.

Agreed but with Hickman its kinda of his style besides usually Hickman quickly introduces you to all the major factions.

Don't get me wrong, Hickman is my favorite writer at the moment, and I have no problem with what he did on East of West (I actually think it's a golden example of economic storytelling on a grand scale). I just mean that more and more Image books are aping that style without the genius that made it hold up instead of collapsing under its own density.

It is getting very interesting, and I haven't read a "new universe" in a long while (as we are all aware of the DC/Marvel Universe of characters). Will reserve judgement until after the 1st plot of the title finishes.

The ladies over at ComicsVerse are big fans too, they felt like Monstress had a lot to unpack. You might agree!
