Jesus. Where to start?? This comic needs all the superlatives. 
 The artwork and the characters themselves are so beautiful it's extravagant. The story is suspenseful and spectacularly violent. The protagonist is the most powerful, hardcore badass I've read in a long time; like Hannah from Rat Queens, only less friendly. 
 Also, there are talking cats. 
 The world of Monstress is so well-constructed that I don't want to leave it, no matter how horrifying it is at every turn (and it really, truly is. People are graphically enslaved, killed, dismembered, and eaten with regularity). This volume is--blessedly--twice the size of most comic compilations, and I can't wait for more to come.
