11 Years Later, One of the Best Sci-Fi Comics of All-Time Needs To Come Back

Bitch Planet, a comic book series published by Image Comics between 2014 and 2017, explores feminist themes through the lens of exploitation films. Created by writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and artist Valentine De Landro, the initial series ran for 10 issues, followed by a five-issue continuation. The story is set in a world where women deemed “non-compliant” are sent to a remote prison called the Auxiliary Compliance Outpost. While critically acclaimed and popular with fans, the series paused after the tenth issue. It’s a thoughtfully written and beautifully illustrated book that tackles tough topics and isn’t always easy to read, as it encourages readers to confront challenging issues.
