DC's ensemble of women characters are here in a brand new elseworld story, ready to save the world from the axis powers. This new story is a welcome break from the usual DC fare.

Each of the characters in this collection gets a new 1940's pin-up costume and a new mission: Assist Amanda Waller in taking down Hitler. These characters are spread all over the map: Batwoman starts off in America, Wonderwoman and Aquawoman in the Mediterranean, Supergirl in Russia, Harley Quinn in London, and Zatanna and Huntress in Germany. So far they've mostly only dealt with enemy soldiers, but one major supervillain is certainly on the rise.

The writing is about on par with what I would expect for a typical JLA or crisis crossover story. The beginning is a bit slow since the series goes through the motions of everyone's adjusted-for-the-times origin story, but it picks up greatly in the second half. The artwork tends to vary with the different characters, since this is an online-first comic. Supergirl got the best, while Zatanna got stuck with the worst. Overall, I like this series, but it has yet to truly reach it's potential.

DC Comics Bombshells Vol 1 Enlisted Marguerite Bennett 9781401261320 Books Reviews

I'm a comic newbie, have not read many comics before but have loads of fun doing it.

Bombshells is powerfull and fun and shows a multiverse were the superheroines are all we need.
Great art, great storylines. I was concerned that this would just be some cheesecake series, but a friend convinced me that the art and and the alternate history (plus all of the kick-ass female protagonists) was worth a look. Ended up reading the whole series once I got the trades. Wasn't anything groundbreaking, but I recommend it nonetheless.
Devoured volumes 1 & 2, looking forward to reading the rest. Best comic series I've read. I have nothing but love for these amazing, inspiring, powerful ladies!!
Originally conceived as a series of statue collectibles, the Bombshell line imagined the heroines of DC as 1940's era pinup and propaganda models a la Rosie the Riveter. DC expanded the pinup style into other collectibles and variant comic covers before expanding outward into this new comic series dedicated to the concept. Written by Marguerite Bennett, DC Comics Bombshells keeps the style choices of the original statues and spins off from there into a creative What If universe where there are almost no male superheroes and the world is currently engulfed in World War II. With Nazi Germany seeking to bolster the power of its armed forces with dark magic, the DC heroines join forces under the US military program "the Bombshells" and enter the war on behalf of the Allies. The first volume introduces this What If version of the comic's mainstays Wonder Woman, Mera, Supergirl, Stargirl, Zatanna, Batwoman, and Harley Quinn.

Honestly, this book has no right to be as good as it is. I first read it at the library as I was intrigued by the premise but didn't put much stock in the title as it seemed like a cheap cash in on the original statues (which already were a bit odd to me due to their "pin up" nature). However, Bennett and the creative team knock it out of the park thanks to fun new interpretations of the heroines' origin stories and the unique setting of WW2 (reminiscent of the old Captain America and the Invader comics from Marvel). The stand outs to me are Mera, Wonder Woman, and Zatanna. Mera (aka Aquawoman) is the fun loving, free-spirited character she should be in the main comics if she weren't worn down by her tragic upbringing. Wonder Woman's story is the most in line with the classic comics as she still meets Steve Trevor and then endeavors to leave Themyscira and help end the war. Zatanna is currently stuck behind enemy lines in Nazi Berlin where she is acting as burlesque show dancer/magician trapped in the employ of the Joker's Daughter (always a terrible character in my opinion, but intriguing enough here as she acts as a Nazi liaison to dark magical forces). Zatanna also gets one of the hands down best team-ups I've seen in awhile as she tries to prove her loyalty by outing Ally spy John Constantine... only to transform him into a magician's rabbit who can still talk and chain smoke like a good Constantine should.

Supergirl and Stargirl are conceived as adopted sisters in Soviet Russia (Stargirl's family takes in the alien Supergirl and their father constructs Stargirl's Cosmic Staff so she can fly like her sister). The duo are at first used as Russian propaganda against the Germans before they question their country's honesty and defect to the Bombshells. It is a cool story but a bit too similar to the classic Superman Red Son story arc and thus feels like a slight recap of that. The only major let down in the first volume is Harley's story, unfortunately. Harley starts out as a normal psychiatrist before randomly transforming into her Harley Quinn alter ego and traveling to Nazi-occupied France to team up with Poison Ivy. So far their story feels too detached and random (like many Harley stories do), but hopefully it gets better later on as the writers explore the nature of the Joker in this What If universe. Overall, a tremendously fun read that was one of the biggest surprise hits I've seen in awhile.
Just finished reading it. It's an interesting take on many of the D.C. Comics female characters. I was worried it would be over sexualized, but as a female reader, I think they did a good job. Some characters are batwoman, Wonder Woman, supergirl, stargirl, mera, Amanda Waller, catwoman, zatanna, Harley Quinn, ivy, and more
I bought this mainly to have a hard copy version of the series -- a digital reimagining of many DC heroines (and the odd hero) during an alternate 1940s. The writing is a lot of fun, and the artwork is generally quite good, while the alternate versions of characters are quite beautiful, and sexy in a rather subversive way -- for all the cheesecake, these are characters with interesting stories behind them, and fun stories ahead.
This is a neat take on the All Star Comics from the
1940s, all women of course! Wonder Woman gets the Rosie The Riveter
treatment and I honestly love it. The Supergirl/Stargirl backstory is pretty cool
and nicely done. We get surprise appearances from one
Alexander Luthor, Amanda Waller and The Huntress. Batwoman is a delight and the Tenebrae
are pure evil. I hope this gets made into a DC Animated universe film.
Until then, absolutely looking forward to Vol 2!
What a great twist on some of DC's female characters. Set during WW2 Batwoman, Wonder Woman, Mara and many others are asked to join forces. A super natural force is rising and it will take all of them and more to fight it. The background stories for the ladies are really interesting, using parts of their usual histories and adding little twists and turns. As a Batwoman fan i couldn't be more thrilled with how she is handled. Highly recommend this for comic lovers and history lovers.
