Most of the stories gathered together in this collection are good. There are some that don't really get their point across until the very last panel or two, one or two that are more for "shock value" than anything else, and several drawn by artists whose styles I just didn't like. It started off strong with a comic about a former Bitch Planet head nurse (Lupe) and I was really hoping we'd get an entire series relating to living in the Bitch Planet society, but only a tiny handful actually seemed to be set specifically in that reality.
I hope DeConnick and De Landro bring the OG series back. They made a great team, which just wasn't replicated well in Triple Feature.

loved the three short stories that returned me to bitch-planet-land, and the essay in the back (about violence as a method of non-compliance) was well-written, interesting, and totally relevant.
i love bitch planet 4eva.

Every single story is good. I liked how each one gave a little more insight into the “Bitch Planet” world. It hard to pick a favorite, but the one that sticks out in my mind the most is called Basic Bitch.

A collection of one-off short stories set in the Bitch Planet universe. I actually liked this a good bit more than the main plot volumes. Some were great, including "Everybody's Grandma is a Little Bit Feminist" which is about a grandmother who is openly feminist, to the chagrin of her family, and "Basic Bitch" which is about police brutality against a woman who dyes her skin brown for the sake of fashion.
There were some problematic stories, though. One portrayed body-mods as something women would only do to land a man. If you told someone with a bifurcated tongue or tattooed scleras or gauged ears that they did it just to land a man, they'd probably get pretty angry at you.

All of these stories are set in the Bitch Planet world, but are short side bits from unknown characters. To be honest, I didn’t like this anthology very much. Each individual tale is dark and all 15 add up to super dark depressive reading. Maybe the current political climate makes these feel less and less like satire. The only one that shined was Everyone’s Grandma is a Little Bit Feminist. If ending up in jail is the cost for hanging out with other feminists, I think I wouldn’t fight the sentence.
