Bitch Planet, Volume 1: Extraordinary Machine by Kelly Sue DeConnick
emotional
funny
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
I've been trying to get my hands on some single issues of this for AGES but every comic shop I go into is sold out (admittedly, I don't go into too many comic shops, but still). And I'm not super excited about digital comics yet so I was holding out for the trade. I loved the retro feeling sci-fi vibe of the art, and the story is fascinating so far. It's also hard to read in spots, and reminds me of the feelings that The Handmaid's Tale evokes. I really want to read more, so I may actually break down and start reading it digitally. Also I LOVE LOVE LOVE Penny the most.
