What a refreshing take on a feminism forward story. I LOVED it. It's not men versus women, it is people versus people! The heroes are the only ones willing to say I don't give a **** anymore.

I don't read a lot of GN but liked this one. Depicting challenges for the female gender and oppression based on race. I like to challenge myself with new kinds of things. Definitely worth reading.

One of my least favorite things about graphic novels is how quickly the good ones go by. I can't wait to read more of this series.

Not fun to read at all. I can see the appeal, reflections on the gender and racial inequalities of our society but I prefer those reflections in a different form.

In a near future ruled by a harsh patriarchy, women who speak up or don't conform to society's expectations are shipped off to a violent prison planet where they struggle to survive. Good for anybody who a comic book baby of Orange Is The New Black and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Violent and profane, and leaves nothing to the imagination, but has some awesome heroines and some important themes about expectations of women. The first volume ends rather abruptly in the middle of things, but otherwise a great read.

Certainly not an easy comic to read -- especially as it takes inspiration from retro exploitation films. However, what it says and does with that medium is important without feeling preachy. It's action and adrenaline packed, but brings up some incredibly pertinent issues in regards to women dealing with equality, body image, and a whole range of other institutionalized cruelties. In this future, women can be sent to a prison colony because they are too disobedient, too obese, not willing to used and discarded, and so on. Underneath the Message and the action and the nudity and violence, though, the author and illustrators are able to create powerful, engaging characters. I eagerly await volume two.

This was book-talked to me by a librarian at Seattle Public library as "imagine Watching Orange is the New Black, but Piper died in the first episode." I think I put it on hold before she even finished that sentence! This is set in a dystopian future where women deemed "non-compliant" are sent to another planet as a prison and exploited by businessmen on Earth as entertainment.

Captures the perfect tone of sardonically retro and feminist rage. In other words, totally my jam. Just enough detail is laid out so you know the premise - nonconforming women are sent to the titular penal colony - but leaves you curious for more. We meet the main characters so briefly, but you get a sense of why they did what they did to earn their spot on Bitch Planet (hint: not much). The funnest angry-making, heartbreaking book I've read in, like, forever.

I loved the retro feeling sci-fi vibe of the art, and the story is fascinating so far. It's also hard to read in spots, and reminds me of the feelings that The Handmaid's Tale evokes. I really want to read more, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the character Penny the most.
