'Monstress' review: Caught in a holding pattern, straddling a divide posted on Oregon Live from the Oregonian

Here's an excerpt:

"From Manila to San Francisco, the Philippines to Seattle; this unlikely band of bighearted eccentrics is born with suitcases packed and ready for takeoff. Where they land isn't always important. Rather, it's the endless holding pattern that feeds Tenorio's stories, his characters' lives. Here, they make their best attempts to navigate the complexities of two disparate cultures, straddling a vast geographical and cultural divide."
