Fantastically feminist, subversive, and hella gaaaayyyyy! What a fun trip!
What I really enjoyed about this, apart from the gorgeous artwork, was the emphasis on women first. Not a single one of the female characters deferred to men in anyway, which was ridiculously refreshing.
While I was a tad confused at points due to all the jumping around and a general lack of familiarity with some of the characters in the DC universe, I'm still definitely going to find myself reading the rest of the books in this series.

I felt like I don't know enough about these heroes and was thrown off by it switching perspective so much, as well as having many other languages for a page or two at a time. I've never been a big comic person though 🤷‍♂️
Bombshells was my first real comic book... And I love it! It started my love affair with Wonder Woman.

Read Harder Challenge Task 18: Read a superhero comic with a female lead.
An entertaining reinvisioning of WWII, wherein women play integral roles in combat/espionage. I enjoyed the stories, and that the comic was mostly drawn by women. I don't really have a whole lot of background with D.C. Comics though, so while a lot of the characters were from other comics in their repertoire (Wonder Woman, Batwoman, Supergirl, etc.), it kind of felt like they were recycling characters instead of creating a new series of badass women, which would have been pretty sweet.
That said, I really liked Batwoman's story, probably best of all of them, so maybe I will go out of my way to read more comics featuring her.

Wow, I really enjoyed this. I love all the female characters and the WW2 setting and the art is amazing. Everything about this is great so far.
The women of DC Comics are reimagined as the central players of an alternate universe set in World War II, and redesigned to incorporate a classic pin-up aesthetic that works in large part because of the strength of Bennet’s and Sauvage’s clearly feminist perspective. The core characteristics of the individual characters remain but they are reimagined in fun and inventive ways that keep the women firmly and consistently center stage. The series is just warming up, dedicating the bulk of its two existing volumes to introductions and assembling the team, but it’s clear that this will continue to be an enjoyable read.
Yo deseando un Mera/Diana a tope y la vida sin dármelo. Pero bueno.
Muy bien, superheroĂnas en vena a tope. Ojalá Sauvage hiciera todo el dibujo pero no es que los demás lo hagan mal, es que me gusta la cohesiĂłn y su estilo.
