About the series
In Man-Eaters (2019–present, Image), a mutation causes menstruating women to transform into deadly, monstrous panthers, upending society and sparking a paranoid, misogynistic crackdown. This satirical horror series, written by Chelsea Cain and illustrated by Kate Niemczyk, uses its 4-issue run to blend sharp social commentary with a thriller's pace, all wrapped in a pastel-hued, deceptively cheerful aesthetic. It matters as a bold, timely allegory for bodily autonomy and institutional fear, standing out in Image's catalog for its unflinching, darkly humorous take on gender and power.
