DC Comics: Bombshells, Vol. 1: Enlisted

I've heard nothing but raves about this series so I was expecting it to be pretty great. GUYS: IT'S PRETTY GREAT.

I love these WWII alternate versions of DC ladies! Even when they are DC ladies I wasn't familiar with before (eg Stargirl, Mera). Definitely goes beyond cute surface level AU and really gets at like...both some of the realities for women in WWII, and also kind of the core values of these superheroes?! Particularly Wonder Woman & why she decides to enter the war <3

SO GREAT even if, like me, you are mostly a casual DC reader.

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.
