Maybe I'm just more accustomed to the Marvel writing style, but I feel like this was less voicey and less fluid than I'm used to reading in comics. I love, love, love the concept though and I'm all in to read the next one -- y'all know I'm a sucker for a WWII AU.

The DC Bombshells series is an imaginative alternate comic-reality where the main heroines of the DC Universe exist during WWII. Written by Marguerite Bennett with adherence to the best parts of the characters, while allowing them to shine in new ways. With heart and sincerity, humor and earnestness - this series pulled me through issue after issue.

Love the conceit, love the book. But then, I'm a sucker for alternate timelines.

Although I really like the setting of 1940s America giving Bombshells a sort of A League of Their Own meets DC superheroes vibe, and this first issue is a decent entry to the series, I wanted so much more from it. I guess I'll just have to read more then!

Remember that incredible art from awhile back? Hell yeah, you do. That DC Bombshell art coming in a full comic that surprisingly seems well thought out, placing women in context of World War II involvement, with lgbt representation, with a full female team kicking ass. Hello and thank you! This title reminds me a little a lot of Captain Marvel and the Carol Corps, but I'm find it hard to complain. How on Earth am I going to track down more of this series? ;;

The review at Panels was accurate. These three first issues of DC Comics : Bombshells are fun, well written and beautifully drawn. This issue introduces Batwoman (Kate Kane)and her girlfriend Maggie Sawyer (Gotham police commissioner) . Set in the 1940, it has baseball, WW2. These are short set up issues. The graphic is beautiful, the story is well set up. I can't wait to see where Kate and Maggie are going.
