My first venture into graphic novels / comics since The Archies. Pretty interesting!

Can't wait until the next one!

*I actually read all of these in single issue comic form this year*4.5/5 stars

I really seem to be on this dominant female kick lately with ODY-C (My Review of #1) and Y: The Last Man (Also My Review of #1), and I really am enjoying it. Not only the comic books that I'm reading, but in my Social Psychology and my Sociology class this topic has come up. Feminism is in the spot light right now, but there's so much misunderstanding behind what that word means.I wasn't going to review this. It's 6:48 am, I have had only one of my two cups of coffee, and I need to leave for wor...

4/28/18I stand by my below thoughts after re-reading this first issue. It was still an incredibly strong start to a series that I seriously fell behind on (am correcting today during Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon).12/10/144 Stars + 1 Star for the TopicSo, I picked up my copy of BITCH PLANET yesterday, because of the hype, because of the subject, and because I wanted another single issue series to pick up.This comic really started off strong for me. I loved the cover, it’s empowering and magnificent,...

too early to decide how good will this be i loved the article in the end feminism i think its my first time reading something like that i like the fat woman she is bad-ass and obsessed with her tits lol and the black tough girl is amazing too she stands up for the oppressed i love her

While reading Bitch Planet I got a very Watchmen feel from it. Probably due to the dark tones present in the story, as well with some similarities I found in the artwork. Also the mixture of graphic story interspersed with the ad style story telling which furthers the novel’s themes are also reminiscent of the way Watchmen inserted police files and other comic stories within the larger story.Overall I quite enjoyed this new graphic novel series. I think it explores some significant topics that p...

Bitch Planet takes a lot of the messed up stuff that women deal with and pushes it to the extremes. In this future world, women are expected to be "compliant" or be shipped off to a prison planet, "Bitch Planet." Those who are "non-compliant" are guilty of everything from being too big (fat is apparently a crime), to not having sex with their husband, to just refusing to bow down to men. It's half Orange is the New Black and half Handmaid's Tale. This first issue essentially introduces the main

Bitch Planet is a planet that "non-compliant" women are sent to. In this one, there is a woman called Marian Collins who says she doesn't belong there. We find out that she's sent to Bitch Planet because she was "non-compliant" to her husband which, as she said, led him to have an affair. Although our world has definitely come far in women's rights, sexism still lingers and is prevalent in our society. I like the message, but I am not entirely sure if I liked the comic itself. I will be reading

Yes. This is it. This is what we've all been waiting for.

Everyone should be reading this book! The artwork has a very distinct 70s grindhouse vibe at times that I really enjoy, but it isn't overused.(You may want to at least get issue #1&2 to give it a fair shake and I think that's how I rated it.)I think the premise of this book is spot on and disturbing as a woman. You can look at this book from so many angles from just pure entertainment to social issues in today's society; the list is long and it's refreshing to see in a graphic novel. Basically,

No it’s not a chain of Kim Kardashian boutiques, this is Kelly Sue DeConnick’s latest comic: Female Dog Planet aka Orange Is The New Black… In Spaaaaaaaaaace! In yet another dystopian future, women are sent to a prison planet for the slightest of transgressions that go against the patriarchal ideal female who is subservient and compliant. Husband sick of the wife and wants to trade her in for a younger model? Pay some agency to get rid of her and shack up with Wife #2! The first issue looks at t...

I walked into a comics store yesterday for one thing: Spider-Man and the X-Men written by the hilarious Elliott Kalan. Being the first time I'd been in a comics store for a few years, I picked up some other stuff too, including this one. Okay, I picked up a lot of stuff. Enough that the store owner asked if I lived in the area and strongly pushed his reserve system. Which he was totally right to do as it took everything in me to say "I'll think about it" instead of "Yes, all the comics, please."...

GO FORTH AND BE NONCOMPLIANT!

From this awesome Flavorwire roundup of great comic series to read this summer: Easily one of the most exciting comic series in recent history, Bitch Planet is a modern, feminist take on the women-in-prison exploitation genre. The dystopian series is about “non-compliant” women who are sent to a space prison. Yesss pleassssse.

This book was better than I expected. At first, I was afraid it would be a feminist exploitation comic book and it is, but it has more to that within the pages. There's an actual story brewing and I would like to figure it out. I should have had bought that issue number 2 when I had the chance.

Need second comic A.S.A.P.

If you don't love this series, you're not a feminist. Everything about this is perfect. The issues that are tackled are done so with such great execution. I love that the cast is diverse and the protagonist is a woman of color. It's got this great dystopian feel. I'm definitely a supporter of the NC revolution and the Bitch Planet movement.

Bullet Review:I need to spend some time thinking about this. I get the point - it's really making how sexist our world is plain and in our face to get people to think about it. It's also not afraid to bring up the race issue and how much more often black and nonwhite women are subject to criticism.But I almost feel like I somehow missed and issue, that panels jumped from scene to scene with little transition.

The concept of Bitch Planet is so great. Non-compliant women get taken to Bitch Planet for anything from physically taking up too much space in the world to having too much confidence in themselves. The first few panels slap the reader in the face as they depict a woman running late to work and apologizing to everyone she passes by. She is clearly made to feel apologetic for simply existing. Too real. The body representation in Bitch Planet leaves nothing to be desired. Every single woman has a
