My least favorite in the series so far. I just never really got into the main story. The Batgirls story was great, and the scene where Diana attempts to console Supergirl is really well done, though.

Everything is so beautiful queer. I'm in love.

Story-wise, I think Volume 4 is the weakest one of the Bombshells series so far. However, there were still a few points in this volume that I loved. Most of all, the chapter of Diana comforting Kara was a beautiful piece of art. I also loved Hawkgirl's speech regarding forgetting old technologies and enjoyed every second of catwoman.

I like Hawkgirl so much. She's fun!Still don't know enough about some of the characters to be fully invested in this particular arc, but as ever, I really like this comic.

More exciting than the last one, but I have no idea what's going on. Way too much emphasis on fantasy stuff. Can't they just fight regular nazis and be done with it?

Overall I really like this but the second or third to the last issue was a little bit over the top. If you've ever watched a Transformers movie then you know how Optimus Prime usually makes a speech about life and fate and humanity and what not at the beginning and/or end of the film. The issue I'm talking about was basically just 10-15 pages of Wonder Woman making that speech which was a little much.

The art was still good, but the plot suffered a bit for all the occult thrown into it. While it is still an interesting series, I wish it would not have taken this turn. Historically, though, I know the axis powers did do a lot of research into the occult, so it is not entirely far fetched that there would be an expedition to find lost mechanical gods, even if it never would come to fruition.

The volume we finally got the amazing Hawkgirl and Vixen.

This one threatened to lose me with the additions of superheroes with whom I was unfamiliar (ahem Vixen, Cheetah), but I caught up and held on tight and the story was again fantastic.

That one was a trifle confusing. i think if I had known ANYTHING about DC mythos, it would have been better, but I was doing a lot of ?????? at the page. Hawkgirl! Awesome! Diana continues to be my fave! Sad about Cheetah's past. :( Sad about Maggie deciding to cheat on her partner with her old partner. :(

In my review for DC Comics: Bombshells Vol. 3: Uprising and I lauded Marguerite Bennett and company for taking Ant Lucia's DC heroines as 40s and 50s cheesecake pin-ups and co-opting whatever Lucia's original motivations were for these designs (I think it was probably something sexual given the obvious cosplay opportunities these nostalgic designs) and turning it into something that is a feminist statement from Bennett, et al. However, in the interim of me reading Bombshells, vol. 3 and Bombshel...

Volume #4, our kick-ass heroines are back and the fight continues. Great art work. Technology and terror form an unholy alliance in a world at war, and only the heroines known as the Bombshells can shut it down!Themes: DC Comics, batgirls, female super heroes kicking ass in WWII, alternate universe, super powers,zombies, evil robots, feminists.3.7 stars

Holy fuck, this series went downhill.What’s it about?Some bombshells are in Africa fighting animal-power Nazis... yeah, it’s weird.Pros:The artists all do a great job. There’s a mix of art styles and it works in this volume.There is a lot of great action throughout. There’s at least one action scene in each issue, usually involving villains, robots and the stunning, powerful ladies of DC. What’s not to love about that?The comic relief is very well done in this volume. More than the previous volu...

This probably could have easily been a 4 star read, but unfortunately due to some incorrect GoodReads descriptions, I actually ended up reading half of this volume's issues with the previous volume so I can't actually remember what happened all that well, and the second 3 issues here were just kind of okay. Still a fun series though, although I'm thinking that they're going to have to all meet up fairly soon because this jumping back and forth is getting a bit tiring and it makes it difficult to...

In this disappointing volume, the story moves away from the WWII battlefront to focus on a fight to control and defeat supernatural mechanical animals. I didn't find this plot or the new characters very compelling. I also struggled with deciphering who was who in the scenes where the superheroines were out of their costume, since most of the female characters have the same body type and face shape.

Admittedly this isn't as strong as the previous works, but it's still pretty damn strong. There were a lot of things to like about this collection! - We meet Vixen and Hawkgirl, who are not only founders of the Bombshells, but Vixen is the Queen of Zambesi, Hawkgirl is tech savvy as hell, and they are a loving and kick butt couple.- Vixen stole Hitler's dog Blondie and took him(her?) on as her own pet. - We get more backstory as to the relationship between Kate Kane (Batwoman) and Renee Montoya....

I liked quite a bit of this but the conclusion fell apart a bit. It kind of turned into Transformers?Anyway, this introduced Vixen and Hawkgirl. I really liked Mari's back story and the fact that she stole Hitler's dog! I liked that they carried on the themes from her original story where she doesn't get her power from the totem - it was in her all along, etc. I really liked Hawkgirl's story. I'm glad that they were together - although I have a question: the only gay kiss in this volume is non-c...

More of a 3.5 rounded up. This volume takes place away from the rest of the main conflict, instead centering on Zambesi and new characters Vixen and Hawkgirl as Paula Von Gunther and the Cheetah also make their appearances. This feels like a calm-before-the-storm kind of story, as the threat of the mechanical gods never really feels that big compared to what the Bombshells have faced already. It's still good fun, but after the giant battles in the previous volume, it's all a bit muted. The chara...

So far, this was probably my least favorite of this collection, so 5*- or 4*+, because it's farther away from the center of the war, and I really like the historical fiction aspect of this series, but this one is more magical and supernaturalI really LOVE the Batgirls scenario, and I really like seeing Dent!! But I also missed Harley and Pamela so much in this oneBut I would still definitely recommend the series :)(Read for the 2017 BookTube-A-Thon, and this doesn't fill any new challenges)

(originally reviewed at thelibraryladies.com )As you all know, I really really REALLY love the “DC Bombshells” series because damn does it give my favorite superheroines something to do. There is something so organically feminist about this series, and it keeps the thrills, action, humor, and pathos balanced out expertly. Seeing some of the best and brightest DC ladies at the forefront is a delight, and whenever a new one comes out I can’t wait to read it. We are now on Volume 4, and after an...
