Monstress Turns 10 and It’s Getting the Mother of All Compendiums

Alright, listen up, dark fantasy fanatics and comic fiends—Monstress is hitting its 10-year mark, and Image Comics is celebrating by dropping a hardcover beast so massive, it might just collapse your bookshelf.

Releasing September 24, 2025, the Monstress 10th Anniversary Compendium collects issues #1 through #48—the entire epic saga so far, from the very first page of monster-fueled mystery and emotional upheaval to the most recent jaw-dropping twist. No filler. No mercy. Just a straight shot through one of the most ambitious fantasy comics of the last decade.

Created by the powerhouse duo of Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda, Monstress doesn’t just tell a story—it builds a brutal, beautiful world and dares you to survive it. This is high fantasy soaked in horror, driven by rage, heartache, and razor-sharp claws. The characters are complex. The stakes are high. And the art? Forget it—Takeda’s pages belong in a damn museum.

This isn’t some dainty collector’s item. It’s a hardcover built to take up space, demand attention, and absolutely wreck you in the best way possible.

Set your sights on comic shops on September 24, and Amazon October 7thMonstress is back. Bigger. Bolder. And as brutal as ever. You’re not ready. But grab it anyway.

Ten years. Forty-eight issues. One unstoppable hardcover. Don’t sleep on it.

My love for heavy metal and horror films runs deep—these genres are practically in my DNA. Friends know me as the go-to guy for everything from crushing guitar riffs to the most bone-chilling horror flicks, and my enthusiasm is contagious. Whether I’m headbanging to the latest metal release or dissecting the creepiest storylines, I’m all in. And, yeah, I’ve got a soft spot for anime too when the mood strikes!
