Monstress #2

This French-language Delcourt edition of Monstress Volume 2, "La Quête," showcases Sana Takeda's breathtaking artwork in full glory — a dark-haired young woman in flowing pale robes drifts weightlessly amid ethereal, ghost-like figures and sweeping organic forms that blur the line between beauty and the uncanny. Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda's celebrated series continues here in an edition that makes Takeda's intricate, dreamlike linework feel like something between fine illustration and illuminated manuscript. A gorgeous entry point — or continuation — for readers drawn to fantasy storytelling with genuine visual ambition.
