DC Comics: Bombshells, Vol. 1: Enlisted by Marguerite Bennett
5.0
Holy Beyonce.
LOVE this, and very excited that Vol 2 is out (right?), so hopefully that'll be available at the library soon. I'm slightly convinced I was a 40s/50s housewife in a past life (that's another conversation for another day), and I love these stories and these women. I LOVE Kate Kane, that beautiful little queer badass. I wish this had more WOC, but I have faith in this group and I think/hope other characters will be brought into this. The Wonder Woman story isn't my favorite, just because a) ugh het love story and b) I understand that her leaving is her showing strength and compassion, but saving a boring white dude just doesn't do it for me. I'm much more interested in the sisters and Kate, kind of like when you're watching a show and your favorite character has the A story and you sit and yawn through the B and C story.
Anyway, this was really great, so everyone should read it.
And now I can wear the button I bought at The Strand without looking like a poser, hooray.
