![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Volume 1 collects the first five issues of the story. Needless to say, there are some problems with putting all non-compliant women in one giant prison – namely, they are going to fight back. But they can also be considered non-compliant if their husbands have affairs (because clearly they drove him to it), if they are too fat, too thin, too loud, too brown, too neuro-atypical…basically anything other than Stepford Barbie can qualify you as non-compliant if the men in your life choose to report you as such. Women can be considered non-compliant for committing acts we think of as crimes – things like murder and theft. Basically, in a future dystopia, all women who are deemed “non-compliant” and who are also considered untreatable are sent to the Auxiliary Compliance Outpost, AKA Bitch Planet. The story is a feminist homage to exploitation films that also includes elements of science fiction. I love comics, but I prefer to binge them rather than read one issue at a time, so I’m a little late to the Bitch Planet party (I was waiting for the first collected volume, which came out in October). This comic is a huge rush and I adored it. I just read Bitch Planet: Extraordinary Machine and now I want to run through the mall shrieking, “NON-COMPLIANT! NON-COMPLIANT!” at the top of my lungs. Genre: Comic, Graphic Novel, Science Fiction/Fantasy ![]()
