"... one of the most unique and subversive artifacts of pop culture in recent memory." - Salon.com "Seldom do comics burst onto the scene and shatter our worldview by being entirely poignant, raw, and captivating - but then, most comics aren't Bitch Panet." - Entertainment Weekly Eisner Award-nominated writer Kelly Sue DeConnick (Pretty Deadly, Captain Marvel) and Valentine De Landro (X-Factor) team up to bring you the premiere volume of Bitch Planet, a deliciously vicious riff on women-in-prison sci-fi exploitation. In a future just a few years down the road in the wrong direction, a woman's failure to comply with her patriarchal overlords will result in exile to the meanest penal planet in the galaxy. When the newest crop of fresh femmes arrive, can they work together to stay alive or will hidden agendas, crooked guards, and the deadliest sport on (or off!) Earth take them to their maker?

3.0 Just not into this
I'm having trouble connecting with this: it's not bad, I just don't care for it as much as I expected to, especially when reading two volumes one after another. There's a lot to unpack in this, but I just wasn't feeling up to it, so my feelings may change if I read this later on; I remember lovin...

5.0 Bitch Planet, Vol. 1: Extraordinary Machine by Kelly Sue DeConnick
Bitch Planet is one of those graphic novels everyone seems to recommend. And I can see why! It's about a group of women who are deemed "disobedient" from the male-dominated government and are sent to a distant prison planet called "Bitch Planet" to be "straightened out." There they have to do what t...

4.0 The Planet of Non-Compliant Women
Bitch Planet is a graphic novel set in a seemingly near future in which the Patriarchy has taken over the world overtly rather than behind the scenes. Leaders are addressed as "Father" and non-compliant women are shipped off-world to a prison planet. DeConnick plays with the various tropes of "women...

4.0 #CBR8 Book 71: Bitch Planet, vol 1: Extraordinary Machine by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine DeLandro

4.0 Bitch Planet: Book 1 - Extraordinary Machine
Created with a retro 70s feel Bitch Planet has never felt more topical than now. From the art style, world building, narrative arc, characters, and even the fake ads at the back of each issue this graphic novel makes itself heard. Every panel calls attention to the misogyny inherent in our culture. ...
