![]() So, this will be a rambly kind of review where I try to sort my thoughts as I go.įirst of all, I did enjoy this. But I also struggle with reviewing this in particular because I am not really sure on my thoughts at all. I always struggle with reviewing graphic novels - especially when it comes to the artwork (somehow "oh look how nice it all looks" really is not all that descriptive). But what do I know, I always struggle with works by certain comic book writers like Jonathan Hickman, Mark Waid, Neil Gaiman, and now also Kelly Sue DeConnick it's just a tough call as there are so few women writers, so I wish I did 'get her'. there's just something missing, and I feel that the missing ingredient is character and story depth. ![]() ![]() this is a feminist drama, which I'm fine with, but it has to be story first, message second for me, if I can't engage in the story, how can I get the message? The characters are evolving becoming more real, but the continual influx of new characters makes it all a bit fleeting if you first see a character in #3 who's badly hurt in #4, why would you care.ĭon't get me wrong the art is wonderful, the concepts marvellous and the character themselves great. A good second volume sees DeConnick and Landro bring together the personal objectives of a number of characters into a wider scale drama that could change Bitch Planet, or even this whole reality. ![]()
