This was a weird one! But I love the Atlantis stuff, and Poison Ivy's garden, and I'm REALLY enjoying Kara's plot, especially her mom. Oh man and the songs. The songs were beautiful. Not sure about the vampiric coven? But I'm willing to watch!

Each time I start one f these I feel so completely lost. Anyway, a lot went on that I was confused about but there were enough neat characters and things that I decided I still liked it.

This one picks up from volume 3, and introduces some new characters. I thought the plot in this volume better than the previous as well.

I enjoyed the introduction of Frankie Charles in this volume. I liked what they did with her story and how they brought her into the Bombshells. I actually enjoyed the take on Barbara Gordon, as well. Unfortunately, I wanted a lot more of Mari and Sheira and we get a glimpse of what they're doing. (on a really, really cool adventure in South America) and that's it. This was yet another volume that focused on Supergirl and the magic users. It's just not my cup of tea, unfortunately. The art also

Giving this one a higher rating due to Barbara Gourdan. <3

Beautiful art, but still no coherent storyline. I think I’m done with this series.

Yeah, it took me a while to get around to this. I didn't really want it to end. The ideas are so cool and creative and I like these women being fit into World War 2. I really wish there was more I could read because I feel like a lot of story is left untold or can be expanded even more. It was still good and I'd re-read this series because it was really enjoyable despite my lack of knowledge in DC characters.One complaint I have is with Harley Quinn in this volume. In one panel she referenced Ha...

Everything about this series is wonderful. Harley's puns are life. The artwork is superb. If this was a movie, P!nk would be Power Girl. I love it.

I enjoyed this a lot better than the last two, and the art is amazing. The story isn't really as strong as I'd like it to be, just because there are so many characters, so the plot gets spread a bit thin.

I read in issues/chapter format, but it's easier for me to rate it this way, so here it is... This one is AMAZING!!! They are all so good, but this one is my favorite, probably because of how many Pamela and Harley scenes exist - and Poison Ivy using her powers!!!Also really LOVE that it's placed in Leningrad - I feel like the USSR is often forgotten during the war, so I really liked seeing it :) I just LOVE when the story really takes place in war scenariosAgain 100% recommend :D[Read for the 2...

This one upped the trash-ante by turning every passage into a song for no reason. And, seriously, name-dropping Hogwarts?And as for the actual plot, or what little there is of it, did we really need to add in four new main characters after all the others barely have enough screen time as it is? AND DID ONE OF THEM REALLY NEED TO BE BATGIRL WHEN WE ALREADY HAVE BATWOMAN AND A GAGGLE OF TEENAGE BATGIRLS?

actual rating: 2.5I was going to round this up but after thinking about it I think I've gotta round it down instead. I really like the idea behind this title but we're five volumes in now and there really should be some kind of connectivity or over-arching plot by this point but instead we're just randomly jumping around between like 15 different characters and not actually getting anywhere with all but maybe three or four of them. It seems like pretty much all the page time is taken up by Wonde...

Bombshells is DC Comics alternate history series set in World War II and starring a female superhero team. Volume 5 is much more coherent than the previous volume and starts with a song being sung by Captain Marvel, Miriam, aka Shazam. She catches the reader up on everything that has been happening with all the major players from the last volume and a few we haven't seen for a while, and she does it in song - or at least rhyme. This review really helps orient the reader.The novel then opens form...

I haven't enjoyed Bombshells this much in a while. This trade paperback starts with a song recap going over the major characters of the story, it's OK. I'm not confident in my ability to review songs. It seems fine.This most of the issue focuses on Supergirl, Steve Trevor, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Raven, Lois Lane, and the Reaper as they take on Dr. Strange and break the siege on Leningrad. Between this trade and the last one, it seems like the story has zeroed in on a theme of of mercy and red...

I thought this next volume of Bombshells was just as good as the rest. I am LOVING all of the characters and the development of each plus the plot of the story. I think the art style is amazing and I am having bittersweet feelings about getting to the last volume. I can not wait to finish it but then I also don't want this series to end.

This one had it's ups and downs for me. It dragged in some spots, but kept me glued to the pages in others. I think maybe the number of characters is almost a bit too much. There's too many things going on and it feels like we're never getting anywhere until they meet up.

The songs are really bad. But I liked the character development in this volume a lot, I enjoy the way these books are kind of touring the WWII-verse rather than just telling a blown-out short story, and there are some really amazing lines. And I love Francine Charles.

(originally reviewed at thelibraryladies.com )Ever since I discovered the “DC Bombshells” series, I’ve kind of been waiting for the other shoe to drop. Far too often do I find a comic series that I love, and inevitably have to have that moment of ‘oh, that was kind of lame’. It happens for most series and it’s by no means a bad thing! Sometimes there will be volumes that feel out of step with the others, and I’ve come to expect it and by no means hold it against the series as a whole. But for...

In my recent review for Batwoman, Vol. 1: Hydrology I echoed my eternal complaint about any character associated with Batman--because Batman is one of the "holy trinity" of DC heroes (along with Superman and Wonder Woman) his very existence tends to overshadow those associated with it, especially the female members of the Bat-family. Unfortunately, the history of comics tends to make this a recurring theme. Would there be a Supergirl without a Superman? Captain Marvel is likely on its way to...

That's more like it. After volume 4 moved away to focus on Zambesi for a while, this volume gets back on track with Supergirl, Raven, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Lois Lane, and Reaper all inadvertently finding themselves battling Hugo Strange once again. The theme of this one, as you can tell from the title, is the Death of Illusion, or coming to realisations about things you thought you understood, but didn't. It's not something I've seen explored much before, especially not with multiple charact...
