Monstress #10

Sana Takeda's cover for Monstress #10 is a breathtaking piece of art deco-tinged fantasy, centering on a dark-haired armored young woman standing with her back turned, a feathered cape cascading around her as she faces an ornate archway — all while two massive, eerily beautiful mermaid figures flank her on either side, their tails resting atop a pile of skulls. The glittering, intricate linework and cool, luminous palette make every detail feel both otherworldly and meticulously crafted. Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda's acclaimed series continues to deliver visuals that feel genuinely unlike anything else on shelves in 2017.
