The Night Eaters: She Eats the Night

"Having dazzled audiences with 2015’s “Monstress” series, Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda have no intention of letting their fans escape them. The Night Eaters features many familiar elements: ambiguous characters, slow-building horror and Takeda’s astonishing art. Here the most ambiguous character is secretive Ipo, a onetime stuntwoman from Hong Kong who now lives in Queens. When she decides to show her adult children inside the yucky old house across the street, their smug modernity is in for a comeuppance. Luminous hues, vibrant character designs and electrifying compositions make virtually every panel its own work of art."
