New Monstress issues and a Deluxe Hardcover coming in 2019

The Monstress comic series, from creators Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda, has been on hiatus for a while now. The most recent issue of the series was released back in July and the most recent collection (Review) was released in September. Luckily, fans of this multiple Eisner Award-winning series will not have to wait long for new content as it is coming as early as this January.

Issue #19 of Monstress is set for release on Wednesday, January 23rd. This issue will start a new story arc for the series. Meanwhile, a Deluxe Hardcover collecting the first eighteen issues is set for release on Wednesday, July 3rd. This hardcover appears to encompass the material found in the first three volumes of this series plus a host of extra content. All in all, 2019 is shaping up to be a good year for fans of Monstress.

The Monstress: Book One hardcover edition will collect the first 18 issues of the New York Times bestselling, Harvey Award, two-time Hugo Award, two-time British Fantasy Award, and five-time Eisner Award-winning series, and feature a striking new cover, as well as special extras, including never-before-seen sketches, script pages, and more with over 500 pages of award-winning content.

While fans wait for the hardcover edition this summer, they can pick up Monstress #19 in January, which will begin a new story arc in the series and will follow Maika and Corvin on their search for Kippa through a warped and lethal land, where even Kippa herself will face her own terrible monsters.
