Within it, a teenage girl struggles to overcome the trauma of war, a task that's made all the more difficult by her mysterious symbiotic link to an eldritch monster of tremendous power—a connection that will transform them both and place them in the crosshairs of both human and otherworldly powers. A perfect entry-point for new readers, MONSTRESS COMPENDIUM ONE collects the first eight volumes of the **New York Times-**bestselling series in one massive paperback compendium from creator/writer MARJORIE LIU (who made history as the first woman to win an Eisner Award for Best Writer) and creator/artist SANA TAKEDA.
