Alright, so now we've got a Bitch Planet hunger games going on? The art and premise are great, but I still haven't really caught on - I'm not sure I really understand what's going on. Maybe that's on me, but I find it a little unclear.
Originally posted on my blog: The Writer's InkwellI’ll admit it. I saw the title and I couldn’t help but request to read this comic. And I did, I made it about halfway through issue two when I realized if I’m uncomfortable reading something, I don’t have to finish reading it.So why was I uncomfortable?There were a few reasons: The concept: I’ll admit, the concept is interesting. But the idea that men would truly come to rule the world and force non-complaint women to be imprisoned on a planet in...
Just as good as the first one!SO bummed there may not be anymore.
Builds on the promise of the first issue and just gets more awesome.
Safe to say I'm obsessed with this series and I'm excited to see where it's headed.
SO MUCH BETTER. I was pretty torn on the first issue of this series. I liked the premise but wasn't in love with the message overwhelming the story. This second issue does a much better job interesting the reader in the story of these non-compliant women. Issue 2 picks up with Kamau Kogo who has been blamed for Marian's death in the prison. The powers that be offer Kam the "opportunity" to put together a team of women to fight for what appears to be entertainment purposes. I'm a sucker for ridic...
Love this series and buying issue 3 basically as soon as I can get to a comic book shop.
As I mentioned on my Saga #25 Review, I fucking love Wednesdays, also known as new-comic-book-day. Firstly--and yes, I realize I'm pushing this hard, but it's only because I feel vehemently about this issue--you should head over and check out my Bitch Planet #1 Review where I rant at and berate he who dubbed the term "Man-hating fem-nazi," and advocate for open-mindedness and as Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, "a marriage of the two sexes." I use the word 'enough' and 'fuck' a lot. Or at least I use...
I obviously can't give any details because even beginning in issue 2, if I brought up anything plot wise, it would be spoiling issue 1. What I will say is that I definitely recommend this series. The topic is so important in today's society, and I think that DeConnick does a very good job at depicting the topic in a sensitive and harsh way (if that makes any sense).We learn more about the characters in this issue, and Kam is honestly such a strong and fantastic main character. I'm...enjoying isn...
This is so freaking badass and smart and subversive and just everything. The essay in the back this time is A+, too.
I’m hooked. This second one definitely got me into it.
The first issue did not impress me much, but I decided to give the second a fair shot. I am officially still not impressed. In this reverse Stepford Wives meets Hunger Games comic I have yet to find an interesting character or original idea. Marketing it as a feminist comic was such a smart move- I am sure it will do well, but in a world full of amazing comic books I do not have time to read mediocre ones. Maybe it will translate better to me in trade and I may try that one day, but for now this...
not giving a rating bc i haven’t read anything else in the series and this was super short, but i find the premise really interesting for sure
we are going somewhere the story is evolving penny is badass i love the next issue is about heri didn't really like the essay this time it had a lot of hard words and i wasn't in the mood to translate every five seconds loli hope its not always feminist essays because most of the time it will be the same subject the same talk they should mix it up interviews with different women perhaps or maybe interviews with the creative team
We have a game that is probably not going to be in these women best interest and maybe a prison escape.
Everyone needs to read this series.
Okay, it's still pretty expositional, but we're getting into some character stuff. Kam, our protagonist, is actually pretty cool. She was an athlete before getting arrested and shipped off to Bitch Planet, and the authorities (some kind of council, I think?) are offering her a lighter sentence if she'll pick a team to compete in some sort of sports match. The style of art and writing is a bit confusing, but I'm still optimistic.
The story opens with the location being Earth with some form of catered cocktail party in progress. The first scene of the party shows what appears to be all men in suits with women in short dresses walking though carrying trays of refreshments. The speaker at the podium is engaged in an extended statement about creating another us versus them scenario. He closes with a classic profiting from misery statement, “To peace my friends . . . and God bless the bloodthirsty rites that help us to keep
I love this comic. I've never read a comic issue by issue before so I'm starting to see the advantage of having a lot of time to let each piece of the story settle before I move on to the next. AND: The feminist essays at the end of every issue. So important.
I am loving this comic, the amazing graphics, arguments, everything!!
