A review by danileighta
Bitch Planet, Volume 1: Extraordinary Machine by Kelly Sue DeConnick

4.0

It's a violent and, at times, gruesome book, but damn I loved it. Women are sent to "Bitch Planet" (BP) if they are "insubordinate" in some way (including being angry and aggressive when you find out your male partner is cheating on you, apparently). Basically, the planet is a violent prison, but there is a subversive river of revolution that's quietly flowing. As the powers that be ask for a sports team to be formed on BP for a bloody game called duemila, where the women will challenge established male teams, the revolution starts to grow. I'm so excited to see where this all leads to!

Be prepared for violence, nudity, sexual assault and implied assault, though, and give it a miss if that's too much; there are lots of kick-ass, female-forward series out there.
