A review by alanaofthegreene
DC Comics: Bombshells, Vol. 1: Enlisted by Marguerite Bennett

4.0

I wanted to like this more than I did. Marguerite Sauvage's art is amazing and a perfect fit for the concept, especially her work with Kate Kane and Maggie Sawyer. It's too bad she didn't do the entire series. The character origins are enjoyable and the overall story is ok, but the writing was pretty weak. I wish there were more female-led writing teams, because the incorporation of feminist concepts and the body and ethnic diversity are stellar additions (especially under Sauvage's pen). The whole industry would do well to take note and follow along. That all said, I'll certainly be picking up volume 2 when it's released in July.
