One of the Best Fantasy Comics Ever Is Getting an Animated Series

Amazon MGM Studios is developing an animated series based on the acclaimed comic book Monstress, according to Variety. Steven Maeda, who co-created and showran Netflix’s One Piece, will write and executive produce the series alongside Tiffany Greshler. Both Maeda and Greshler will also serve as co-showrunners. The story is set in a fantastical world inspired by Asia and follows a young woman who shares a body with a monster. She embarks on a journey to uncover her history and find justice for her mother’s death, joined by a unique group of allies—including a talking cat and a part-human, part-fox girl—as they become entangled in a conflict between humans and supernatural beings. Monstress explores the question of how we can rise above our inner demons when the world itself seems to create them.
