Monstress

Monstress is a dark fantasy series with steampunk elements, written by Marjorie Liu and illustrated by Sana Takeda. Set in a matriarchal world inspired by early 20th-century Asia, it follows Maika Halfwolf, a teenage girl who shares a mysterious psychic link with a powerful monster.

Image Comics began publishing it in November 2015, and it is still running. The story is collected in ten numbered trade paperbacks, from Awakening to Hollow Gods, plus hardcover Books and a compendium.

The series won the Eisner Award for Best Continuing Series in 2018 and the Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story in 2017 and 2018, along with British Fantasy Awards and a World Fantasy special award.
