Welcome to Litsy!

Second volume still packed with masterful social commentary and feminist messaging in amongst fast-paced machinations and action, still capable of making me incredibly tense...in a good way!?

Another great installment of Bitch Planet :)

I enjoy these comics, but at the same time I get so angry reading them 😡

I am so sick at the moment. Hence the large number of posts I'm putting up, trying to distract myself.

Here is my recent library haul.

I was so surprised by where this volume went! It was really exciting! Looking forward to the next one!

Really appreciated their introduction of transwomen and that they consulted with and adjusted their work to reflect feedback from several transwomen they named in the Q&A.

This volume begins with a trigger warning for images relating to sexual assault, and the 2008 DOJ survey statistic that 1 in 16 female prisoners reported being sexually assaulted while incarcerated. I‘m not generally one to condone violence, but every backstory I get in this series where an assailant or intended assailant is maimed or killed, I feel fiercely that the closest thing to justice possible has been served. #metoo #believevictims

Might need to see if Bull Moose has the next volume in stock... I‘m feeling mighty non-compliant these days.

The more I read if bitch planet the more it seems like a perfect partner to the handmaids tale. Amazing but shocking.

Another good volume in this series, a revolution starts! I really enjoy how dark this series is, and I really enjoy the coloring.

Love this comic so much. It's gorgeous and just so good. And the exploitation movie poster style art is amazing.

Amazing and confrontational feminist comic

I read the first volume this morning and it was awesome!! But volume 2 has this disclaimer, should I go on? I really want to but then again I don‘t want to deal with those situations. What do you guys think? Thanks!! 😊👍❤️📚🤷🏽‍♀️

Damn. It's just that good. Damn.

My mother saw me reading this and asked why I'd read anything that would make me mad ... Well Ma it's because this isn't a book that revels masturbatorily in the degradation of women. This is a series of women fighting a system of oppression. And it doesn't focus on one type of woman this has some great intersectionality. Also the advertisements make me smile. #badasswomen #feministgraphicnovels #bitchplanet

Aw yeah, me time.
I have waited all day for 15 minutes alone.

This is the best fake ad I have ever seen. I am dying.

Really enjoyed this volume, much better than the first one! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

#Libraryhaul - I‘m so proud of myself! Next wkend (Jan 27-28) is the #24in48 readathon and I‘ve actually planned some light fun options. This is my third participation: the first I heard about it right before and had no plan; the second time I tried to plan but my library holds didn‘t come in; now third time is the charm! It should be a blast even if I still don‘t hit the 24 hr mark 📚

This is one of my favorite parts of the BP books- the "ads" and lists of articles at the end.

BP is such a raw, empowering experience. I love it so much.

Must-read for fans of Bitch Planet! This arc adds transgender women to the revolution and adds depth to characters and the story.

P.S. Lola is disappointed that the bitches aren‘t pugs.

I have a running theme in my #speechbubblechallenge photos. 💩 #LetsGetGraphicWeekLongMarathon #lmfao

Ugh. Today did not go as planned. Finally settling in to catch up on Bitch Planet. #Letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

Another entry into a world that feels far closer to reality than is comfortable. Seeing the ways that threads of now are being picked up to show how they could be used in the future is disturbing but no less realistic. It is an uncomfortable read because we see how easily this can come to pass. If you are looking to stoke some feminist rage, look no further.

This volume was incredible. I love the depth and complexity of the characters and the kick-ass feminist storytelling. Also, they include fake ads at the end of each issue and holy crap if this one didn't speak to me on an incredibly personal level. #bitchplanet #comics #feminism

Excellent 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I'm really interested to see where they're going to take the story after this volume.

#allthebooksof2017 Prompt 3, Best Sequel You Read. This is the ONLY sequel I read! I liked this better than vol. 1, in fact.

Great follow up to book one and can‘t wait to read more. Writer DeConnick and artist DeLandro show us a dystopia that feels familiar — a world run by patriarchy, where “noncompliant” women are criminalized and sent to a penal colony called Bitch Planet. In Volume 2, we learn that President Eleanor Doane, long thought dead, has been imprisoned and rebellion is in the air. https://cannonballread.com/2017/12/its-a-cannonball-bitch/

Happy #comicthon everyone!!!!! I'm still with family today so I probably won't get to read much. If I have a sliver of time, I'll be hitting up Bitch Planet v2 and Deadpool: World's Greatest v6.

Considering how many comics I read on the regular anyways........I think I can afford to miss comicthon this time. It's like a regular day for me, anyways 😝

Hit me up if you have any comic q's or need recs!!

I am a huge fan of all the fun page layouts in this one. This one is one of my favourites because it makes my mild OCD quite happy. Ascetically pleasing. 😍

This series keeps getting better and better. 🙌 can't wait to read the whole series. Hopefully the library has the whole collection. 💓

Another day, another book ❌ed off the #TBRbingo card. Finally getting close to bingo!

Mini-review: the second volume of Bitch Planet is just as excellent and badass as the first.

I can‘t decide what to read next (#bibliophileproblems), so I‘m taking a break from blocks of text with a badass #graphicnovel. #goawayimreading #sundayreads #currentlyreading

More exciting book news!! Got my grabby little hands on v 6 and v 2 !!!! And the rest of the series and more of

I‘ve got 99 books but a bitch ain‘t one...oh, wait. A bitch is one.

I amuse myself.

Also, I‘m off work next week for a much needed mental health staycation so hopefully that number will go WAY down. I blame my kids for a lot of them. 😉

Finished Bitch Planet Vol. 2, and only have one chapter left of The New Jim Crow. Unfortunately didn‘t get to the Ward, but it‘s beer o‘clock here in Singapore and also time for dinner, so I‘m calling it a day #readathon @DeweysReadathon

BTW enjoyed BP2 a lot, better than vol. 1!

WHAT.

Needed a break from blocks of text sooooo... Graphic novel time! Ahhh yissss...

Jumping in late on #readathon! I was invited to dinner last-minute and I don‘t like to turn down opps to go out and be social, then just got into bed. I‘ll start with Bitch Planet v.2!

1. Singapore | 2. Just looking forward to meeting some goals! | 3. Salted egg yolk crispy fish skins | 4. I‘m an artist (pencil drawings) | 5. Actually READ this time! Notorious for great intentions but not following through 🤷‍♀️

@DeweysReadathon

Finally a content advisory that makes sense!

Even better than the first volume!
