Waiting on the Trade

Monstress Vol. 1

Listen Later

In this episode of Waiting on the Trade, we discuss the first volume of Marjorie Liu, Sana Takeda, and Rus Wooton’s Monstress.

Explanations, Observations, and Links of Note
  • Yup: Monstress is on that NPR Top 100 Graphic Novels list Pat so loves.
  • Here’s that interview in which Liu talks about having to stop herself from pulling a George R.R. Martin, and establishing too many plot threads. Beware, there may be spoilers for later in the series!
  • According to the Illinois Science Council, the “idea that your brain can be full is a myth.” So I guess I’ve officially lost that argument with my wife.
  • Oops, we made another Ni no Kuni reference.
  • And finally, here’s another interview and review we read in prep for our discussion.
