Is monstress #1 a good book to pick up? 0

Is the story good? Does it have legs to be another "Saga" or what not?

As soon as I figure out Silk's staying power I will answer this one.

Try the $1.99 Image Firsts reprint that is double thick. Have never seen a Monstress #1 1st print locally.

YES!!!

I like it a whole lot more than Saga but that's just one opinion.

 

I agree with picking up the $1.99 Image Firsts edition to see if you'll like it. It's almost 70 pages worth of story so triple issue size. I guess that's also partly to blame why this is hard to get in 9.8 at least for a modern.

If I buy this now can I sell it for more later?

Nope I was interested in getting a copy to read but didn't want to waste money if the story wasn't good.

Issue #1 is $4.99 on Comixology if you're just looking to read it with no hassle and yes it's excellent.

The art is interesting, the story is a fantasy setting, and while some of it is very traditional, there is a nice twist to the plot that gives it an added bump.

 

I was a particular fan of the massive first issue, I like the confidence that conveys from the creators, it makes you feel like they really believe in their story.

Alternately, $5.99 (just $1 extra) gets you the full volume 1 (issues #1-6) on Amazon Kindle and it transfers over to comiXology if you have your accounts linked.

 

That said, Monstress #1 is packed with enough content/story that I reckon if you prefer print, the $1.99 Image Firsts reprint is quite sufficient to determine whether you'd want to continue it or not.

Just get the Image Firsts as already said, or pick up the TPB for $9.99 I think.

Me and you both. I like her origin and overall story better than Spider-Gwen but Spider-Gwens suit is very catchy and iconic. I have yet to see tons of Silk cosplayers which is usually a good indication of a characters popularity and staying power.
