unladylike's review against another edition

Lots more of the same elements I've come to expect from this series, but in some ways, Bennett is actually getting better at it. If you love alliteration, fantastical events and superheroes injected into historical events, and most importantly, ALL THE LADIES OF DC BEING SUPER GAY FOR EACH OTHER, this is for you.

3.5 rounded to 4. I liked the stories in this volume more than the last one, but I didn't love the song-as-narrative device. I am enjoying how this series twists many of the well-known DC storylines and characters.

Everything about this series is wonderful. Harley's puns are life. The artwork is superb. If this was a movie, P!nk would be Power Girl. I love it.

I don’t typically read LGBTQ books or comics, so DC Comics Bombshell vol 5 was a different style and genre for me.
I loved Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy in this, since they’re my favorite DC women villains. With the different timelines and scenes, I was getting a little bit confused.
Definitely need to read the others. This one was really good.

This one upped the trash-ante by turning every passage into a song for no reason. And, seriously, name-dropping Hogwarts?
And as for the actual plot, or what little there is of it, did we really need to add in four new main characters after all the others barely have enough screen time as it is? AND DID ONE OF THEM REALLY NEED TO BE BATGIRL WHEN WE ALREADY HAVE BATWOMAN AND A GAGGLE OF TEENAGE BATGIRLS?

Not the most interestingly storyline for me, but done wonderfully.

This series frustrates me a bit. I feel at times there are too many characters. I missed seeing Wonder Woman and Batwoman in this issue as I feel I am in the minority who enjoys their stories more than the Raven storyline. I also felt I wasn’t necessary to introduce Batgirl and the Suicide Squad so late into the run as there are too many storylines already. Will be intrigued to see what the last volume includes.

This was a weird one! But I love the Atlantis stuff, and Poison Ivy's garden, and I'm REALLY enjoying Kara's plot, especially her mom. Oh man and the songs. The songs were beautiful. Not sure about the vampiric coven? But I'm willing to watch!
