And we're back to the main story and getting to some meaty plot points too! The story is starting to really develop in these panels, and I can start to see where the creators are going. In this issue, you also start to see some friendships and relationships forming and it's just powerful to witness. And then there's Kam doing her badass things, being the fucking protector that she is. Just another exceptional issue.
4.5 StarsI've been waiting for this issue for a hot minute, and after reading the end of this issue I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for issue five. I can see the interworking of these first couple issues coming together and I can tell the end is gonna be fucking epic. Kamau Kogo, our main character, is smart and is looking out for her number one which is herself, but i also think we're going to be seeing a different side to her in the next issues.

Not too long ago, another avid Bitch Planet reader sent me a tweet from Kelly Sue. It was Kelly apologizing, saying that Bitch Planet issue number four would reach our hands at a later date. Like many readers I was totally bummed out and stayed optimistic by rereading the first three issues and then even reintroduced a friend to the world of comics by way of a care package of comics which included a copy of issue one. (I racked up some serious awesome friends points and Karma there!Going in, I c...
I missed a couple issues so right now I've only read #1 and #4 but it's fine keeping up after reading the summary at the front. Bitch Planet manages to point out and twist a whole bunch of social issues and societal "norms" to point out just how ridiculous and unfair they are. It shines a light on things that happen in real life (though usually on a less obvious scale). It's pure genius. And just like the first issue, this has a badass ending.
Can you tell what I spent the afternoon doing? One Bitch Planet after the other. This is great, nude scenes and even a lesbian sex scene without it being male gaze-y and gross. Such an awesome series.
hmmmm
Finally, some action. We see the team getting assembled, and we get a closer look at Kam and who she is.
I'm pretty much on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what will happen with the Megaton match.The essay in this issue was stellar, as they have all been. This series is amazing on so many levels, not least because it's hitting me on such an intellectual level. I'm pretty new to intersectional feminism, and I'm eager to learn all I can, so the essay really made me think.The forward is also fantastic and dead on. Non-compliant isn't just a catchphrase for the series, it's a lifeline for women...
Was going through comics at the shop and saw this cover. Did a little research, loved the concept and decided to read it. I am an outspoken feminist and this is exactly the kinda stuff I can get behind. No shame to outwardly feminist entertainment, but it's usually not as well written as Bitch Planet is. A lot of feminist media I consume has a thick layer of academic language marinara that makes it almost inaccessible to anyone who might be interested in, y'know, human and social rights.This com...
I am enjoying the hell out of this series, but I absolutely cannot wait to reread it all from beginning to end.
Initial thoughts review: Yay for intersectional feminism (the essay)! With the gawkers in the shower scenes, this issue really got me thinking about the hyper-sexualization of black women, women of color, and over-sexualization of women in general.
4.5, really. This is an issue that has the potential to really open up: There's a clear way in which this sets certain paths, and then sets certain balls rolling down those paths. I'm hoping it goes well. There's a smidge, here, where it becomes hard to balance the prison exploitation aspects of the series -- but I'm confident that they'll do well, and most importantly, they'll think and respond well if the readership becomes upset over something.
I cannot describe the fulfillment I get with every issue. I devour every word and then want to cry at how good it was and wish that I had savored it more slowly. This is the best of contemporary comics. Kelly Sue DeConnick has written the body and it is a masterpiece. MORE OF THIS, PLEASE.
I'm so invested in Kam's storyline. Do I seek out issues 4-7 or do I hold out, pre-order Vol 1 and binge read?!?!?
Kam empieza a seleccionar a las chicas que formaran el equipo. Nos cuentan las reglas del juego y vemos un entrenamiento donde presenciamos el potencial del equipo. Aunque también le cuentan algo preocupante a Kam para lo que trata de buscar una salida.
This was the first issue I wasn't amazed by. I may not be as interested in the fighting aspect of this series as I thought I would be. Which may be a problem since I think that's a main part of what is supposed be happening in the series.
good issue i loved the essay as welli am disappointed to find out that Megaton is a stupid sport but whatever really i like the whole theme of this comic series its new to me
La última escena se merece todas las estrellas del mundo.
This series continues to get me jacked up over both the story and the essays. Issue 4 introduces the rules of Megaton, sees Kam kicking booty and taking names as she gets her team ready, continues to show off the doucheness of menfolk, and asks readers to question feminist racism. I get inarticulate attempting to express how much I love and look forward to Bitch Planet each issue <3
