Deeply unsurprisingly I also really adore this sort of in-universe propaganda as a worldbuilding/characterization tool.

Monstress, which takes place in an art deco alt-East Asia, is so thematically rich on so many levels. Just a few dot points on societies and parenthood in the world of Monstress:
- a human religious group obsessed with bloodline purity, who have successfully argued that murdering and eating children is a protected expression of their religion
- that same religious group get their supernatural powers by literally consuming the corpses of mixed-Arcanic children
- the Arcanic Empire, which is opulent and ostensibly a haven, but which is in practice ruled by ancient purebloods who are at best disconnected from the struggles of their mixed descendents, and at worst actively discriminatory against their children who turn out too human
- in another faction of the Arcanic Empire, a society that raises clones of a ruling member so that they can be forcibly possessed by the personality of the Ancient to perpetuate her existence
Not to even touch on everything going on with Maika and her parents.

I know that Maika x Tuya is going to end up being endgame but I really think these two would be cute together. I feel like Maika deserves a healthy relationship for once.

Girl You're Pining For Without Knowing She Betrayed You Enters Marriage of Convenience with Your Aunt (Who's Hunting You Down) And Also Pictures It Was You During The Wedding Night.
hyper-specific lesbian drama I didn't know I needed, and that Monstress generously saw fit to give me.

This is such a specifically horny comic. Like yeah of course the marriage ceremony involves mixing your blood together then drinking it then kissing. Why not?

Monstress does have some absolutely top tier character design. Old Tooth, shark butch! She's a salty old seadog (seafish?). Her bulging muscles. The cool scars. The piercings on her dorsal fin. And she is helping Kippa learn to swim!

It's sad that as a culture we pour all the time and attention into video games and video as our premier art form, instead of into comics and graphic novels.
