Read in one sitting, I couldn't put it down for even a second. Love the story progress, love the characters.

I liked this one a bit more than the first volume. It might be because the team is coming together in a more concrete way or it might be because I decided to stop worrying about my general lack of knowledge of the DC universe and just go along for the ride, but I'm definitely enjoying it at this point and am interested to see where it goes.

Finished while bawling my eyes out. This series is my new favorite thing ever.

It feels like there are too many stories going on at once here. Too many characters get short shrift (Zatanna especially, although Barda and Dr. Light are others who get very little time), while others get overburdened with plots that feel reminiscent to volume 1 (Stargirl and Supergirl). When the stories focus on the characters, they're fairly interesting, like the Gotham girls taking on an orphanage and its secret factory. But most of this collection are massive action scenes, and those scenes...

I only made it 1-2 issues in before giving up. I liked the premise from volume one - essentially, DC's women superheroes living in the 40's - even though Bennett quickly expanded to include everyone possible, and the story collapsed under the weight of a huge cast. Here, that problem only gets worse with multiple Batgirls and other groups (most of whom I can't or don't have time to get invested in), confusing and meandering dialogue, and attempting to do far too much in a few issues. It's frustr...

Volume One ReviewI continued to feel a bit lost throughout this volume as well. I don't think it was entirely my lack of background knowledge, scenes jumped before I knew what exactly was going on in the first place.I still enjoyed it, the artwork was fantastic. I like the batgirl copycats distributing justice and the sea battles with Aquawoman.I'm ready to admit that I don't care about Stargirl or Supergirl at all. I don't know what it is but I just cannot connect with them.

Onwards with the second volume. They're quick reads with very nicely done art work.The basis of this series with kick-ass heroines in the lead were a line off 1940s pinup style Bombshells variant covers and a series of statuettes. Set in a WWII alternate universe we follow our female superheroes and how they came to be. I really like how this is done.Themes: DC Comics, female super heroes kicking ass in WWII, alternate universe, super powers, feminists.4 stars

Ya know when I added this series to my reading list I was expecting silly fun. I mean I thought it was just WWII era DC pin-up girls punching Nazis or something. There’s a lot more to it and it is amazing.What’s it about?Hard to describe without spoilers. This is pretty much the second volume of this series so it continues the story. In this volume we are introduced to the Batgirls. Vigilante girls who beat the shit out of their opponents by using ball bats.Why it gets 5 stars:The story is still...

The art is great, the characters are great, but the story is wanting. Not terrible, mind, but certainly underwhelming. This is par for the course with Bennett, actually. I really like the way she writes characters, especially female characters, but her storytelling needs some serious work.

I am enjoying this series so much. Granted, it isn’t the most sophisticated and developed plot, so perhaps it is more the spirit of the series that I am fond of: if I can’t indulge in a little feminist revisionist alternate version of WWII featuring my favorite DC gals, what am I going to do on a lazy Friday morning?Following the events of “Enlisted” (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...), “Allies” follows four main storylines. On the battle lines, Wonder Woman has to deal with an army of th...

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. All the ladies, kicking all the butts, all the time.

The art is phenomenal, the characters are fantastic, the concept is brilliant... But the story falls flat for me. There's a lot going on, which is good in a way because you get to see lots of different great characters, but it makes the story a bit all over the place and difficult to follow. I am excited to see where this series goes as, despite being 12 issues in, I still feel like it's very much still in the introduction of the story and that it will develop to become better. Think my favourit...

I LOVE the characters, context, and queerness of so much of DC Bombshells, so it's extra sad that I can't give this volume more than 3 stars. It's gorgeous the whole way through, and there are plenty of things that happen that made me giggle and fangirl wave air over my own face. But something went terribly wrong with the storyboarding. There were several page layouts where a character's placement or weapon changed back and forth from one panel to the next, as if cards, script bubbles, and even

The story with the batgirls was amazing, but the rest of the volume wasn't keeping my interest very well. Not bad, but I kept putting it down and forgetting what had happened. Zatanna's also beginning to really annoy me, and I normally really like Zatanna.

The art continues to be phenomenal, the story-lines interesting, and the dialogue well written. This is a pretty cool take on classic dc girls, and it has a strong feminine message, with out making men out to be less, or exclusively the villains, or any of the other issues you can find with modern feminist movements. Being set in the second world war does help this, on the home front part at least, since most men were off at the front and the women had to step up. Overall, a really well done ser...

Superheroines kickin' undead ass. You can't go wrong with that.

So here we go, my continued attempt at plumbing the dark and shadowy territories of openly feminist/LGBT+ comics and the content therein and after the first volume of Bombshells, I didn't come out of it exactly singing its praises. The artwork was nice and colourful but the plot was wonky, the characters were flat and the whole tone felt kind of weirdly out of synch with the style it was attempting to ape. But never it be said I'm not willing to try new things a few times, unless we're talking n...

I loved the first volume but this one didn't grab me as much as the other. I feel as though there's something about Wonder Woman's storyline that just isn't grabbing me? Although I do love the subversion of the damsel in distress trope. I like that she's the stronger, more stable warrior and Steve needs help here. They're fighting an army of the undead and all of the mysticism about where the army came from and who's leading it weighed this down for me. I enjoyed the opening short about the youn...

Honestly can't fault this. Really great story, and an awesome collection of artists and colourists. Even though there was some switching of artists between chapters, I didn't find it jarring at all. On a whole, definitely enjoyed this even more than volume one. My favourite part was the Batgirls issue and pretty much any scene with Batwoman. Seeing Supergirl's vulnerabilities and more of Mera was great too. This is fastly becoming one of my favourite series. Highly recommend.

1. I'm a little confused 2. Why does everyone have to have huge boobs?
