I was so excited for this book, but it seemed so juvenile, and so lazy, that I really wasn't enjoying it. Then, one character made a PMS joke at another, and I was done.

Technically, I didn't finish this. I picked it up because it featured all sorts of awesome female superheroes and villains, but the art, you guys. I don't always love lady superhero costumes, but I'm also fairly used to them by now. And I usually like the story enough that the costumes aren't a deal-breaker. BUT. When Wonder Woman's special fancy ambassador outfit she wore to speak to the UN (or whatever the comic equivalent is) was a glorified thong and bandeau top, I rolled my eyes so hard they almost popped out of my head. It's not like her normal costume, as featured on the cover, is drearily demure and modest.
So I flipped forward to see what the other segments featured and discovered some characters with individual breasts larger than their heads and a PMS joke. And then I was like, screw you guys, it's obvious I'm not your audience here.
There may be an interesting story in these pages, but I can tolerate only so much sexist body representation before I decide my time and money are better spent elsewhere

What a waste of time. I mean, if you're wanting to spend some time looking at half-naked women kicking each others ass, I guess it's fine. But I've read too many good comic book authors and prefer some depth to my stories. Even when they are about superheroes.
The writing is not great. And the art‰Ы_lets just say that with their skimpy outfits, there's lots drawn for the male gaze. The perfect angles for lots of ass close-ups.
Oh. And within 3 panels of each other, Robin both worries about her hair and hates math. Plus they make uncreative misogynist insults: "Let me guess, you're crampy? Want me to get you some chocolate?" and "she's a dumb blonde" are on facing pages. Later, "You are embarrassingly stupid." (Those last two to Harley Quinn.)
There was a creative reference to The Steve Miller Band song‰Ы_but that's about the only thing I liked.
And is it just me or do their costumes and hairstyles change from panel to panel?
Oh, well, they're just girls. As long as they look sexy, right? Sheesh.
Should I not expect more from superhero comics? C'mon, DC! Really, can only men write female superheroes?
I wanted to read the next couple volumes, but not now.

As an anime and manga fan I really liked the art style of this comic. The first issue was a bit disjointed from the rest of the book but I suppose it was just setting Wonder Woman up. Once the rest of the characters were introduced the story really gets going. Overall it's a fun read. I'll be picking up the next volume to see where this is going!
