Themes
One of the most prevalent themes in Monstres is race. Liu states that [Monstress] is a familiar story to people in this country.In the graphic novel the Arcanics, a race of magical creatures, have been at war with humans for decades, and they are now at a stalemate. However the humans are taking young presumably orphaned Arcanics and selling them as slaves to other humans.

Gender also plays an important role. Monstress is set in a matriarchal society, with the main characters being female. it explores feminist issues outside of the traditional gender-conflict context in entertainment.
