Review
The first volume of Bitch Planet came out all the way back in the 2015 (gosh, this feels like such a long time ago now) and I have been waiting in tenterhooks for the second trade to drop. The story picks up where it left off-with a murder and a secret budding conspiracy-and it proceeds from there. Collecting issues #6-#10 (out of a promised 30 to complete the whole arc), this second volume feels similar to the first one in terms of portentous storytelling and themes but very different in presentation. Whereas the first volume had more backstories concerning the prisoners with several issues dedicated to the prisoners' past and personality, covering the reasons why they were sent to Bitch Planet; as well as a storyline that felt much more localised because it was so focused on this group of people, this second volume features only one backstory (a very important one) and it widens the arc to include a broader view of the world, different characters, a bigger look at the facilities within Bitch Planet (including a building that seems to hold exclusively trans women) and to introduce one major new character: President Bitch.
This new volume also feels like it became less of an ensemble female cast and more of a panoramic view with a strong focus on one particular character. It is not a bad thing: in fact, I'd say that it's starting to feel like I know where the story is going as the author's vision for it becomes more and more clear. One can see the seeds of revolution.
I first described Bitch Planet as "Orange is the New Black in space and without Piper", with a story that focuses primarily on the marginalised characters and it remains an apt description. The most important thing though is Bitch Planet is an overtly intersectional, brutally honest, no holds-barred, angry feminist comics. There are also tons of extra materials-lots of meta commentary on our present time-that are as important and exciting as the comics itself. I highly recommend it.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2018Can I just say how BEYOND elated I am that I discovered this series? It is so refreshing to hear a positive feminist message from a strong woman author who uses the medium to tackle our racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, 'trumpist' society nowadays which is just deluged with men who think and look like scabbed-over hemorrhoids, virulent in their bright, crimson rage and too calloused to feel anything, along with the fox-news-correspondent-bottle-blonde-know-nothing-eat-nothing-fat-shaming-vacuous-yessirs who dote on them.
And in the comics industry, although there are several awesome gems out there and amazing authors, there are also twice as many portrayals of female characters that leave much to be desired. Not so for DeConnick and Valentine's tour de force here. This is a masterfully-illustrated, gritty representation of raw women, (both cisgendered and transgendered, which I, as a trans woman, very much appreciated) of every shape, size, color and ethnicity surviving, enduring, uniting and fighting back against a world besieged by an unchecked patriarchy. This was written as a dystopian sci-fi drama, but it's remarkable how easily it reads as nonfiction in 2018. There are so many parallels to be drawn between the landscape in this title and what's going on here & now. Which is also inspirational, because at its core this is a story of hope. That if the beleaguered, downtrodden, victimized masses gather together, they can rise up against the forces that would seek to destroy them.
Characters like Kam and Penny are bold, memorable and inspirational. They teach us to feel anger if its called for even though women 'aren't supposed to,' they teach us to embrace who we are and how we look and to make our ideal self reflect the self *WE* are most comfortable with, instead of the distorted image society's lens would prefer. The contrast between them and the "well-behaved," compliant ladies, as well as the scanitlly-clad holographic secretaries, together with the AWESOME tongue-in-cheek ads interspersed throughout the book provides a continual glimpse at a question that will confront readers with their own insecurities and force them to consider what the term "ideal" really means to them, to society and to what end. Really examine what image that term evokes and please for the love of god girls, rally against it! Life in a gilded cage is still a life of slavery. This all ties into the beautiful, noble message in B**ch Planet and one I think more people ought to listen to...especially those who, now more than ever, need to believe in defiant, kickass lady heroism and in the triumph of good over evil.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2020This series just keeps getting better and better. The escape and riot/revolution was epic! Waiting on the 3rd volume to see the women take over the entire planet! Like the namesake.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2019What are the costs of a hierarchy? By depicting how misery is experienced and inflicted on all those who live in a power structure the writers show their profound intelligence. White women and males also suffer, differently, in a world of winners and losers. Never preachy, the comic is a true original.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2023...with great art!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2020Love the flow of the story. Keeps you engaged and always wanting more. I can't wait for the next volume.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2017Fun, engaging, emotionally reasonates, and kick ass. Buy and you won't be disappointed! Enjoyed the twist at the end to link all of womanhood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nicht umsonst Preisgekrönt
Auch der zweite Teil von Bitch Planet hat es in sich. Absolut lesenwert und deshalb eine klare Empfehlung!
Schnelle Lieferung, gut verpackt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arrived promptly, excellent condition
Critical dystopia and exploitation tropes rendered in satisfyingly lurid colours and style. The fake ads are glorious! Comparisons to OITNB and The Handmaid's Tale (going back further, Halo Jones) make sense, but this is no pale imitation. Bitch Planet offers its very own story and world. Highly recommended!
