Monstress #28

Sana Takeda's cover for Monstress #28 brings two ornately detailed figures face-to-face in an intimate yet clearly fraught moment — their foreheads nearly touching, hands clasped between them, blood visible as debris and weapons scatter through the turbulent sky above. The intricate linework woven through their forms is breathtaking, blending the organic and the mechanical in Takeda's distinctively lush style. Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda's Hugo Award-winning series continues to deliver one of the most visually stunning books in comics, and this 2020 issue is a compelling addition to that run.
