Maika is lucky in that she passes completely as a human, but other Arcanics don't fare as well, possessing everything from giant feathered wings to fox-like ears and tails. On the surface, Monstress is the story of a teenage girl named Maika Halfwolf who is what's known as an "Arcanic," a sort of magical creature with features that borrow from both humans and animals. Writer Marjorie Liu and artist Sana Takeda's award-winning ongoing series Monstress from Image Comics ( See it on Amazon) has presented western comics with their very own fantasy epic by weaving the threads of classic superhero tropes, action manga style, and expansive world-building into a brand new cloth. From prestige television like Game of Thrones to all-ages cartoons like She-Ra and The Princesses of Power to the explosive resurgence of tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons care of podcasts and livestreams, audiences everywhere are hungry for swords and sorcery - and even the traditionally cape and cowl dominated world of comic books is taking note of the trend in its own, totally unique way.
Over the last decade, pop culture has been in the throes of an epic fantasy renaissance. If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale.
