"Seldom do comics burst onto the scene and shatter our worldview by being entirely poignant, raw, and captivating - but then, most comics aren't Bitch Panet." - Entertainment Weekly
Eisner Award-nominated writer Kelly Sue DeConnick (Pretty Deadly, Captain Marvel) and Valentine De Landro (X-Factor) team up to bring you the premiere volume of Bitch Planet, a deliciously vicious riff on women-in-prison sci-fi exploitation.
In a future just a few years down the road in the wrong direction, a woman's failure to comply with her patriarchal overlords will result in exile to the meanest penal planet in the galaxy. When the newest crop of fresh femmes arrive, can they work together to stay alive or will hidden agendas, crooked guards, and the deadliest sport on (or off!) Earth take them to their maker?

Imagine a world, where non compliance (anything from talking back to murder) can get you send off to a prison camp in space when you are a woman. I think that this graphic novel kind of shows the extreme way of how society responds to women that don't fit it an extra tight mold. I also like how religion was brought into the narrative, since for thousands of years religion has been used to oppress women. (I am not saying religion is oppressive, but men have used religion to oppress.)
