devannm 's review for:
DC Comics: Bombshells, Vol. 1: Enlisted
by Marguerite Bennett
I was kind of unsure about picking this up but I do like some of Bennett's other works and it seemed interesting enough to give it a shot. I thought it was a pretty good first volume but I think I am definitely at a disadvantage in that I know very little about the DC universe at large so some things / characters were a bit confusing.
I mean obviously I know Wonder Woman, I know Zatanna but really only inasmuch as she relates to Constantine [btw, bunny!Constantine, how adorable], I think Amanda Waller is Viola Davis' character from Suicide Squad?, there's Batwoman but I am unsure if Batgirl at some point BECAME Batwoman or if this is an entirely different character, I picked up on the fact that one of them was Supergirl after awhile [took me entirely too long honestly], I have no idea who the other lady is except 'someone relating to Aquaman' lol, oh and then there's 'the Joker's daughter' although I have no idea if that is an actual thing outside of this universe ...
So basically I think I'm in a BIT over my head but it seems fun so far so I'll definitely continue with it. Also wondering if this was where they took inspiration for the Wonder Woman move from? Or do many of Diana's origin stories feature WW2 and Steve Trevor? Anyway, I generally try to stay as far away from mainstream comic characters as possible [movies/TV shows not included] but this seems like a cool concept by an author I like so I am willing to try it.
