I really enjoyed the focus on female characters and loved that there’s f/f relationships in this but I found it really hard to follow at times. The art was gorgeous, but because there was so many artists and different styles it kind of clashed a bit. Going to continue with the next volume though because I love Harley and Ivy and won’t all the content I can get hahahahaha.

It's 1940 and all your fav DC ladyBAMFs are gaaaaaay and fabulous!!! What more do you want? Okay, it's also full of above-average writing (both as a superhero book, and a book by Marguerite Bennett, whom I have not been impressed by in the past) and beautiful character designs.
Some of it doesn't make sense (Why does Harley have a Bat-symbol on her belt buckle?!) and some of it is cheesy-clever (Batwoman gets her name from the fact that she plays in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and fights baddies with a baseball bat.). Most of it is catered to the audience that might also read or write slash fic. The various queer romances and innuendos made me feel squishy inside, sometimes causing my eyelashes to flutter involuntarily, rather than making me roll my eyes at pseudo-lesbian fantasy fodder for the straight male gaze. I'm sure plenty of other queer feminists will disagree with that, but there it is.
What started as a gimmicky comic based on some collectors' statues is now a successful, widely-adored comic series of a variety sorely lacking at DC. Like Tom Taylor's treatment of the video-game-based Injustice: Gods Among Us series, Bombshells has no right to be this good.

Boring to be honest. I thought there was way too much going on at once to really focus on any singular character. I like the wlw aspects of this a lot and enjoyed batwoman’s scenes the most by far, so I’m just gonna go read more of her comics now instead of struggling through the rest of this run. I like this concept a lot but I didn’t enjoy it in comic form, I’d rather just look at the pinups.
Fun! I was really interested in the ways they wove these heroes into a different past. Lots of cool little Easter Eggs throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I enjoyed it for the fun read it was, but there was far too much singing.
This was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed John Constantine as a bunny. Super ladies fighting Nazis are generally a plus in my book.
What do you get when you combine Nazis, zombies, and DC's most BAMF heroines and villains? Well, you get "DC's Bombshells," the popular pinup merchandise turned comic series where Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batwoman, and friends join Amanda Waller to stop Hitler while the boys fight in the front lines.
While I am a huge fan of DC and it's heroes such as Batman, Arrow, and Superman, I LOVE this series because it is led by an all female cast of superheroes and villains, something that is rare to find in comics. Highly recommend this series to anyone looking to get into comics for the first time, as as to those veterans looking for something different to read.
