Monstress, Issue #8 begins with a recap of the story so far along with a short dramatis personae. Maika, Kippa, and Ren are sailing toward the nation of Thyria, far from the grip of the Arcanic Dusk Court and the Cumean Mother Superior, the leaders of both sides of the human-Arcanic cold war. Her guide is Seizi, a tiger-man Arcanic. Now they are sailing to the Isle of Bones, but will the Monstrum inside Maika wreak havoc on the crew?
Like I've said seven times before, this is just a beautiful comic, one just about everyone should be reading. I still remember seeing the first triple-issue and thinking that the inside artwork could never live up to the cover art, but it does, and it has. I love the golds, and the mostly-female/matriarchal cast should appeal to women.
