unladylike 's review for:
Bitch Planet, Volume 2: President Bitch
by Valentine De Landro, Taki Soma, Kelly Sue DeConnick
So much time has passed between the publication of Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 of Bitch Planet that I was a bit lost and forgot some important plot/character developments (particularly the history with Agent Whitney, whose name I just had to look up again because she's not that interesting, but is apparently serving a pivotal role).
As a trans woman who reads a lot of comics, I can at least say this is one of the better/best introductions of trans characters in a story. It was written by cis women, but they had three (hopefully paid) consultants who are trans. Kelly Sue DeConnick obviously put a lot of good intentions into this, fretted over how it could be done wrong, and let adjustments be made beyond what she'd originally planned. So that's all respectable.
I know Image typically does this thing where they take a hiatus from a book just after releasing the first trade, but I don't think this book will succeed in the long-term if it isn't printed and collected in a more timely and consistent manner. (Disclaimer: I don't follow the monthly comics releases)
