Monstress #36

Sana Takeda's breathtaking cover for Monstress #36 pulls you into a swirling clash of forces — a dark-haired figure consumed by writhing crimson tendrils below, while a winged, golden-haired figure grips her from above amid a storm of scattered feathers and smoky light. The tension between these two figures, one seemingly dragged under and one struggling to hold on, captures the series' signature blend of beauty and dread. Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda continue their remarkable collaboration here, and this 2022 Image release shows exactly why Monstress remains one of the most visually arresting books on shelves.
