![]() There will be 6 issues in this original run, with one issue being released each month, so I am eagerly awaiting the next installment. Matt Colville manages to capture the personalities and attitudes of the characters so well, and this 27 page comic issue was over too quickly. The artwork was great, and it was actually done by a Critter (what we fans of the show call ourselves), so that’s even cooler. This particular issue focuses on Vex and Vax, though there is a decent amount of Keyleth in it as well. ![]() This was a fantastic story detailing part of an early adventure before Vox Machina truly formed. She plays gnome cleric Pike Trickfoot in the web series Critical Role, which I have gushed about on this blog a couple times already, and then when she did an episode of Signal Boost on Geek & Sundry, Ashley recommended Bitch Planet as something to read.Īs a huge fan of Critical Role because of the epic storyline (seriously I have watched all 113 episodes of the show and they are typically 3-5 hours long each–so basically I’ve invested a lot of time for this), the announcement of a prequel comic greatly excited me. Here’s a fun fact…there is actually a connection between both of these comics, and it happens to be actress Ashley Johnson. Rating: Vox Machina Origins (5 stars) Bitch Planet, Vol 1 (4 stars) When the newest crop of fresh femmes arrive, can they work together to stay alive or will hidden agendas, crooked guards, and the deadliest sport on (or off!) Earth take them to their maker? In a future just a few years down the road in the wrong direction, a woman’s failure to comply with her patriarchal overlords will result in exile to the meanest penal planet in the galaxy. Summary (Bitch Planet)Įisner Award-nominated writer Kelly Sue DeConnick (Pretty Deadly, Captain Marvel) and Valentine De Landro (X-Factor) team up to bring you the premiere volume of Bitch Planet, a deliciously vicious riff on women-in-prison sci-fi exploitation. Things are not what they seem for the adventurous siblings…between fighting shark-riding fish men and black-clad assassins, they meet an antlered half-elven druid with her own theory about the curse. Roguish twins Vax’ildan and Vex’ahlia investigate a curse afflicting the impoverished citizens of the port city of Stilben.
