This Week’s Must Read: Bitch Planet #3

Surprising absolutely no one, my must read this is Bitch Planet #3. Beyond depicting a future world where woman are incarcerated for being “non-compliant” and toying with the inherent exploitation of the women’s prison trope, Bitch Planet is also unique in the physical portrayal of its women characters. Most unique is Penny, the massive bruiser of a woman who can easily wipe the floor with anyone in her way. Her large frame is unlike anything seen in comics today, and that’s especially so for women characters. In this issue we’ll learn the story behind her incarceration and I can’t wait to see Penny telling off a society that wishes to jail her for her size.

This Week’s Must Read: Superman/Wonder Woman #16

One of my favorite graphic novels is Kingdom Come, so seeing that Magog is going to be introduced as a villain in this issue is pretty exciting. Mark Waid’s representation of Magog as the violent, modern counterpart to Superman’s classic hero paired with Alex Ross’s art was spellbinding. While Peter Tomasi has a pretty big hill to climb trying to tap into Waid’s magic, the mere mention of the character is enough to get me to check out this issue.

This Week’s Must Read: Red Sonja #100

An anthology of Red Sonja stories by the best writers from the series’ revival nearly ten years ago? Honestly, this would be worth getting for stories by the series’ current author Gail Simone and Red Sonja creator Roy Thomas alone. Throw in underrated Sonja scribes like Eric Trauttman and Mike Omening and you have a collection worthy of the word epic!

Buy these comics at your local comic book store (Don’t know where that is? Here you go.) or digitally via Comixology.com.
