Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda - Monstress - Vol 1: Awakening & Vol 2: The Blood

Marvellous story, rich in action, world-building and (to a lesser extent) characterisation; notably, nearly every character is female. Lots of violence, present and past. Has a denseness that feels like depth, not mere obliqueness or detail. Puts the graphic novel form to great use; fittingly, given that Monstress basically fits in the fantasy genre, the drawing art is particularly outstanding.
