BITCH PLANET TAKES NO PRISONERS
The first issue of Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine De Landro’s feminist sci-fi exploitation riff slated for second printing

 

“The feminist comic book we’ve all been waiting for.” —Vox.com
“Sharply written, emotionally charged… A heck of a book.” —IGN
“An immensely refreshing read.” —The Onion’s A.V. Club
“The only comic about gladiator women in space prison you’ll ever need.” —WIRED
“A bleaker Orange is the New Black, without the lily-white lead, in space.” —The Mary Sue

Kelly Sue DeConnick (PRETTY DEADLY) and Valentine De Landro’s (X-Factor) highly anticipated BITCH PLANET hit stores and lit up social media with its #noncompliant message and its show-stopping storyline. Now it’s being fast-tracked to a second printing in order to meet customer demand.

A science fiction take on the Women-in-Prison exploitation cinema trope, BITCH PLANET follows five prisoners on an all-female penal planet, ready to make their escape by way of a gladiatorial exhibition against a team of visiting male prisoners. There are five women—all ridiculous and real—and all very different. One shouldn’t be there. The other four are unrepentant and guilty as Hell.

BITCH PLANET #1 remains available for purchase across all digital platforms, including the Image Comics website (imagecomics.com), the official Image Comics iOS app, Comixology’s website (comixology.com), iOS, Android, and Google Play.

BITCH PLANET #1, 2nd printing arrives in stores on 2/11 and can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code DEC148092.

BITCH PLANET #2 hits stands on 1/28 and can be ordered with Diamond Code NOV140643.
