DC ladies fighting Nazis. Only lacking a quality villain. Really fun.

Well that was disappointing. I had heard such great things about this and it unfortunately didn't work for me. Everything felt mixed together and nothing flowed well. I just couldn't get into it. It started strong but fizzled out real quick. Truly disappointed.

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.

The story is jam-packed with delights and—for someone like me who isn't fluent in comics—confusions. But the art more than makes up for it.

I bought Bombshells volume 1 sight unseen, and this book is a good reason not to do that in the future. Some of the art is excellent, including the covers and the art by the penciller named on the book cover, Marguerite Sauvage. She drew only the first issue and maybe a few subsequent pages. The rest of the art is hit-or-miss.
The story is also hit-or-miss. It's all setups and no conclusion. Surprisingly, knowing my usual tastes, the most fun parts are the ones with Harley Quinn. I also liked the Batwoman sections.
