Bitch Planet #10 Review

Writer: Kelly Sue DeConnick / Artist: Valentine De landro / Image Comics Bitch Planet is back and it has not missed a step! We’re picking this book back up with the bomb that was dropped in the last: the secret Facility One housing inmates, which includes Kamu’s sister, have been released to the general population of Bitch Planet by a grief-stricken father by way of Meiko Maki, who discovered what happened to his daughter (along with some power outages). Formerly presumed dead, President Eleanor Doane has been found and has emerged as the new leader of this new revolution happening on Bitch Planet… and to see her speak and command attention was awe-inspiring.

For what it’s worth, I would follow Elaeanor Doane to the ends of the earth, or to the corner store for a half galloon of milk — whatever comes first. She knows my number. And my mama’s number. This entire issue is going to grab your attention and keep you on your toes — but this isn’t a new thing for Bitch Planet. However, this issue just solidifies why we love this comic so much and why you dare not turn away: the good, the bad, and the ugly, it’s all here. We see rebellion and reunions. And ass whoopings. And more with a middle finger to the male gaze, too. A particular scene is one I can’t forget, that I really want to touch on without getting into the more spoiler-y panels of this issue:

Y’all peep what happened to Whitney earlier on? Tossed away by her people, folks she thought was on her side? No longer use…
