Non-compliant women--too fat, too queer, too black, too strong--are exhiled to a prison planet in this near-future dystopia so the men on earth can feel more at ease. Can they survive long enough to rise-up? Written and produced by women (so few comic books are), the patriarchy of this universe is revealed in a genuine, seething fury. However dismal it is, this physical manifestation of patriarchy as a prison is easier to confront/wreck/butcher. So read it for the catharsis.
