A Japanese artist currently working mainly for Marvel,
Sana Takeda came to my attention for her collaboration with writer
Marjorie Liu on the series
Monstress. It's an intrically drawn, stark tale of power and pain, supernatural forces and a particular barbaric type of slavery, and is an extremely compelling read.
This review, in particular, struck me and deserves to be shared: “That tenuous space between survival and terror is where Monstress
lives. It’s a comic book with mud in its blood, unafraid to be a
swirling epic as well as a ghastly dark fantasy.” –
