I was hoping for a bit more depth by this volume in the series but like the last volume there is very little plot and while the multimedia aspects are cool I feel like the authors didn’t consider ways to use those aspects to move the story along more. Still a quick enough read so I’ll read the last volume but I wish this series had done a bit more.

Love the twist in this one! This is a very satisfying series to read. Recommended if you like Bitch Planet.

3.5 stars maybe? The ending definitely was lackluster compared to the beginning of this series - felt forced and rushed, and just didn't give a satisfying explanation. Still, I would recommend this entire series for its cutting wit and satire. Also, it's just fun. Plus cats.

This wasn't bad. It just wasn't...anything? I don't know what the behind-the-scenes was for this comic. I would assume that the creative team was probably contracted for the 12-issue run from the beginning, but, although this provided some sort of closure, overall the series doesn't seem like it ended up having a meaningful story arc. The strength of this series, and of this last trade paperback especially, was in the quirky advertisements and small elements incorporating sarcasm and satire, rather than the story. This work is unabashedly political and liberal (and anyone who has made it to issue 9 is probably okay with that), so the most enjoyable parts for me were the fake ads, paperwork, and schematics.
The one thing that really struck me in this volume was the poem written by a 14-year-old that was in the middle of the collection about (and this will sound cheesy) creating/being creative for oneself as a form of self-expression and healing.

Definitely had more plot than volume 2, and kept the relentlessly feminist message, so overall a win here. Still would like the story to be more fleshed out. Still had trouble suspending disbelief, but the propaganda just about makes up for that. Definitely will be recommending to all my teens.
