Monstress Vol. 4: The Chosen
Marjorie Liu, writer; Sana Takeda, artist
Image Comics, 2019
The big event in this arc is Maika meeting her father. She doesn't trust him, or the coalition he is building. Her connection with the Ancients gives her a special insight. But the fate of humanity still seems up for grabs. Maika also reconnects with Kippa and Master Ren, and learns things about their true roles in her story. As always the narrative is visually striking, and the political connections are complex and confusing. Somehow the series keeps drawing me back in, even though I'm not really sure I understand it.
