Fan-favorite writer Kelly Sue DeConnick will follow up her Pretty Deadly at Image Comics with Bitch Planet, she revealed today at Image Expo.The title will feature art by Valentine De Landro.”This is born of a deep and abiding love for exploitation and women in prison movies of the 1960s and 1970s,” DeConnick said. “I like this stuff so much, and it’s so terrible. It’s so deeply awful and delicious, like those candies that are bad for you.””I have a profound and abiding love for exploitation films, but as a feminist, I also find many (if not most) of them deeply problematic—for reasons that are both obvious and that I can’t expound on without sounding like an academic paper,” said DeConnick. “These are two WILDLY mixed feelings. And I love mixed feelings. It happens that mixed feelings are the perfect soil composition for fiction.”
