Beloved fantasy series Monstress by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda, hits its 10th anniversary this year. In celebration of this immense milestone, publisher Image Comics has announced an all-new compendium edition set to his shelves this fall!
Over the years, Monstress has become one of the brightest jewels in the crown of Image Comics. The gorgeous, dark fantasy and mythological comic was an instant hit from the moment issue #1 hit shelves. The comic now holds a special place in Image’s roster. As of now, Monstress has reached issue #55, with Volume 9, The Possessed, released in November 2024. The comic’s 10th Volume is slated for publication in December 2025.
Ahead of its 10th Anniversary, Image has revealed an all-new, epic compendium edition. Titled Enter the Halfwolf, it’s a thing of beauty. The compendium collects issues #1-48 and provides a binge-able new entry-point for readers just discovering Maika’s dark arcane quest.
“In a lot of ways, Monstress is one of our secret weapons,” said Eric Stephenson, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer at Image Comics. “Since the first trade paperback was released, it has sold and sold and sold, making it one of our most successful series of the past 10 years. For anyone not already seduced by this series’ many charms, this massive compendium is a great opportunity to fall in love with one of comics’ modern masterworks.”
The success of Monstress speaks for itself. Since its inception, the comic has gone on to receive multiple Eisner Awards, Harvey Awards, a Hugo Award, a World Fantasy Award, and a British Fantasy Award. It doesn’t get much better than that!
Monstress Compendium One goes on sale October 7 from Image Comics. You can pre-order it on Amazon here.
