3.5. Wonderfully outrageous and very well-executed feminist SF - if you imagine The Handmaid's Tale with a healthy dose of intersectional feminism and a sense of humor, adapted into an cult 80s film, you begin to approximate Bitch Planet. The story and characters have yet to totally engage me, but I am hoping for great things from this series. ( )

Like a pulpy Handmaid's Tale. I really enjoyed the attitude and aesthetic, but the plot seems a little slow to get started. But I'll definitely check out Vol 2. ( )

It's tricky to rate this one because after 5 issues the main plot hasn't gotten going yet. the concept is strong though and the whole idea of compliance makes me feel wrong all over. It makes me angry and afraid (much like Handmaid's tale did!).

I would be intrigued to read more of it crosses my path but I'm not desperate enough to seek it out... mostly because the imagined world is one to scary for me to want to spend much time in! ( )
