wishfulfillment's review against another edition
Based on the first single-issue alone, I am looking forward to getting to know all of the protagonists and the setting. I wish the art style was a little less noisy and the text a little easier to read, but I'm willing to try the next issue if only for that characters.

(2023 update : You all might laugh at me, but this comic is actually what destroyed all the stereotypes about feminism for me, it was the articles with this comic, each comic had a few articles at the end, about feminism that was hard to read for me at the time, but i put in the effort and understood them, and my view changed, and my perspective became wider, I am not sure if i identified immediately or while reading through it as a feminist, or was it a later thing, but i did, i didn't talk about it much, but i showed it through my actions and through what i say, and the sides i take in trendy problems in Egypt, which are the right side, but usually has the least supporters sadly.
The funny thing is, this wasn't even on my radar, an Arab Lesbian friend of mine, was asking about it, and i put it in tbr list, forgot about it for a year or two, and then i read it thinking it was something that was recommended to me at one point, it wasn't, The Articles felt way more powerful than the story of the comic.
Also this was something that again, Destroyed many stereotypes about LGBTQ people for me, Cinema was doing a great job at that already, as i had already seen amazing movies like Moonlight and Dallas buyers club, But Its movies, its not real, but the LGBTQ people in the letters were real...
They were so real, they wrote many letters that touched and cut deep into my heart, and probably into every single reader's heart.
It's insane how something that might have never been effected me this much.
Only problem is after saying all that, only single issues of this comic, contain the letters and the articles, people were really sad that they didn't collect them in the volumes, but its usually the first thing that gets cut when making comic volumes, anyway Cheers, i felt it was a story worth sharing.)
Too early to decide how good will this be.
I loved the article in the end about feminism, i think its my first time reading something like that!
I like the fat woman she is bad-ass and obsessed with her tits lol
And the black tough girl is amazing too, she stands up for the oppressed i love her!

A gritty comic about the violence in a female prison planet for gals who don't conform to the inflated society norms for women.

This issue did a great job of establishing the setting and concept, so hopefully the next few will flesh out Kamau & Penny more, as well as expand on other inmates. I'm excited to see where this goes.

The first issue left me with a feeling on wanting to read more. Interesting premise and a very important topic.

I did not know much about this comic, I simply was taken by the fact that it is written by DeConnick and that it got so much buzz.
I can understand why people are celebrating this comic. It starts important discussions about how females are treated and viewed in societies today. The story is very involving, I immediately rooted hard for these women that are imprisoned for being "non compliant". The other 50% of the story shows the mostly white males that are creating this system and the females that are "compliant". I did not know that side about the story would be so extensively shown, I wanted to know more about the women, so these male focused parts were a bit less interesting to me.
Generally my problem with this type of feminist stories is that they are very triggering to me. I cannot watch violence against women and women stuck in systems that they have no chance winning against.
I now feel involved in the story and I would like to know how it continues for these women, but right now I am not sure I can.
