Bombshells: United Vol. 1: American Soil by Marguerite Bennett
5.0
I have a hard time rating this volume. I was confused to where it was picking off since it’s a continuation of the other main series. I didn’t like this volume as much. You will notice that I still gave it 5 stars however. I didn’t personally like the entire story was basically just Wonder Woman and the various wonder girls (I still didn’t recognize 3 of them but I’m guessing at one point in time they worked with or as wonder girl). I liked the introduced of Cassie and Donna. But the arc felt longer than it needed to be. I was getting impatient but then I read the letter that the main author wrote after that arc and it made more sense and I forgave the longer time spent. Also even though I have never heard of her, dawn star was really cool.
I really enjoyed the last bonus little issue where we finally get to meet some characters that have been promoted for so long (STARFIRE AND JESSIE QUICK AND BLACK CANARY)!!! I am so looking forward to seeing more of them. I prefer the issues where you get to jump from a couple of people’s stories and perspectives so you get a better picture of the whole universe. So I am hoping the next volume will do just that and do more than briefly mention these characters.
Also did the art style change like 3 or 4 times? Like at first it was definitely different, then it was like is this the same as the first series?, then it was like definitely different again, then it was like the original art style. It made me uncomfortable. I loved the original and hope it continues with that.
Either way, this was not my favorite volume in the bombshells universe, however I still love the thought and idea behind the entire thing. Hence the 5 stars.
