DC Comics: Bombshells, Vol. 1: Enlisted by Marguerite Bennett
3.0
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.
