While there, she is tasked with fixing Pontus’s shield, a technology built by the Shaman-Empress, that helped to keep the city’s population safe from a variety of invaders. Regardless of its geography, Maika is there searching for more information about her ancestor, the Shaman-Empress, and a way to separate herself from Zinn, the being sharing her body. Pontus is a sanctuary for all who set foot on its shores, and I’d suggest flipping to the map at the back of the volume first to get an idea of how Pontus relates to the rest of the continent. There we discover more about the enigmatic Shaman-Empress and witness some of the first Arcanic’s great powers and skill. The story follows Maika’s stay at Pontus, a city established by, and still a central place for, refugees. Monstress is one of the best ongoing series out right now (lest we forget its multiple Eisners) and volume three continues to deliver.
