World War II was a time when women stepped up and kept society running when the men left for the battlefield. What isn‘t usually mentioned though it just how much of a role women played in the war. In this first volume of Bombshells, we see just how impactful our heroines from across the world were in helping to fight off the Nazis.

I had such high hopes for this series but it ended up being so boring for me.

I read this to fulfill Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge #21: A comic by an LGBTQIA creator. I really liked it! It's a sort of superheroine retelling of World War II. The artwork is gorgeous as well.

I am officially obsessed, so much fun all your favorite DC heroines and villains have been recruited as Bombshells during WWII. They are fighting nazis, and those nazis have found a way to reanimate their dead soldiers and keep them fighting. Can‘t wait to get my hands on volume 2.

#booksandvinyl I'm sad that this album doesn't have cherry bomb on it but some characters are running away. One of the downsides of trying to mainly read comics by women is I'm reading a lot less of them as it takes me longer to get my hands on them! Ugh, do better publishers! This is a good intro, it's not the best superhero comic I've read and tbh I really don't know much about these ladies and how it's being changed. Fun read though.

An awesome team of ladies took the bombshell posters DC did of their heroines and put them all in a WWII comic together, with amazing art and intriguing storytelling. Constantine is a rabbit in this?? Batwoman fights with an actual baseball bat? I love it.

The Kate Kane/Batwoman scenes have a great mix of social history commentary and humour. And I love that Kate's lover Maggie is in this too— reminds me of my favourite Batwoman comic, Elegy by Rucka and Williams.

Lady superhero origin story roll call! The Wonder Woman arc was especially familiar to me after just seeing the movie, and I particularly enjoyed the Soviet-influenced Supergirl and Stargirl story.

I'm giving this a like, but not love. I really appreciated the AU setting and in particular the decision to treat LGBTQIA+ relationships as no big deal, but it felt like a lot of the story was table setting and establishing why these characters act/dress the way they do (it's based on a successful line of DC statues). But the highs are very high, and I do love the art! I'll definitely check out later volumes. #readwomen #comics

I went to my lcs about an hour before they closed so it was slim pickings for free comics. But I managed to find a way to support by buying trades I've been meaning to get for a while. Were there any good #fcbd issues that you were able to snag? The Valerian preview intrigues me.

This will probably be my last book of the night. I haven't even eaten dinner yet and I am starving. I officially love this series. Heroines fighting for justice during WWII. The characters are great, the stories are compelling and I really love the art. Bombshells did not disappoint. #24in48 #readathon

So my schedule got swamped. I haven't had much time for books/Litsy-ing. I may or may not have gone into withdrawal. And things may or may not have gotten a little out of hand at the library and now I have to bend the rules of time and space to read this and all the other things.

Could happen to anyone, right? 😛📚⏱

My first DC comic! It was super fun and now I totally want to be a bombshell for Halloween. Batwoman and Wonder Woman are probably my favorites but Mera is awesome too 😉

josie281 I adore the Bombshells! 7y
queerbookreader I am obsessed w Batwoman 😭💞 7y
MeganB @lemonlime799 her costume! Her one liners! Her relationship with Maggie! ❤❤❤❤😍 7y
See All 18 Comments
queerbookreader @MeganB Have you read her solo series? Kate/Maggie is soooooo strong in her own series it makes me cry with happiness every time I read another volume 😍 7y
MeganB @lemonlime799 No! I've only started comics recently and stuck mostly to marvel this year. I'll have to go look that one up! 7y
queerbookreader @MeganB lmk if you want recs, I got into comics this year too and have stuck to only reading about women. (and Hawkeye) so I know great comics featuring women!! 7y
MeganB @lemonlime799 That's what I've been doing too! Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel have been my faves so far. My roommate has some Batgirl that she says is good so I'm going to check that out too but recs are always appreciated ☺️ 7y
queerbookreader @MeganB Both the Simone and Fletcher batgirl series are good, but the latter is designed for teens too so it isn't as dark as the former. Try both tho! Sooo great 😱 Ms. Marvel and captain marvel are the loves of my life!!!! Omg so Carol is bffs with Spider-Woman so you have to read her series. There's like two running by the same guy, Hopeless I think, and I LOVE JESSICA DREW 7y
queerbookreader I just got spider woman socks for Xmas actually 😛 7y
queerbookreader Are you on goodreads? I have tons of comics catalogued on there you can totally just stalk my shelves if you want 7y
MeganB @lemonlime799 I tried spiderwoman but I think it was part of a much larger storyline so I had NO CLUE what was happening. There were multiple universes involved and several spider people but I adored Jessica Drew in the Captain Marvel comics. And I am on Goodreads! What's your name there? 7y
queerbookreader @MeganB Yes omg the Spiderverse. There's a huge collection that illustrates the whole Spiderverse thing. It was kind of confusing but it'll totally help if you read Silk and Spidergwen first, so you can get familiar with the other characters. The other Spider-Woman series is about her having a baby 7y
queerbookreader I'm lemonlime799 on it and I use the same photo there as I do here. So just look for the artsy fartsy neck shot 😝 7y
MeganB @lemonlime799 ok, weirdly super into her having a baby??? Unless it's the result of strange experiments or something, that's very much a hard no (part of why I quit Doctor Who 😕) 7y
MeganB @lemonlime799 LOL will do 😂 7y
queerbookreader @MeganB No no no it was totally her choice and I loved seeing the superhero-single-mom angle. So much character development 😭 7y
queerbookreader Did that really happen in Doctor who?? I got lazy and stopped at S4 bcz that's when moffat changed everything. I've been rewatching S1-3 for several years 😂 7y
MeganB @lemonlime799 omg that sounds awesome!! And it wasn't a straight up experiment pregnancy but it was a "oh Amy btw you've been pregnant this whole time" plot twist midseason 6 I think? and I HATED the way moffat handled it ?? He's kind of the worst. But yea, I gave up when it was weird pregnancy plus the end of Angels in Manhattan which was AWFUL and mostly just emotionally manipulative rather than actually good/interesting. 7y

JustTrish @Suzze The surgery itself is not that bad- very quick and they give you good pain meds.😎 It's just frustrating not being able to use the hand for at least a week after 😦 But I'm looking at it as lot's of extra reading time! 7y

Again, not the correct Marguerite Bennett title, but InSEXts isn't in the database. I just love her work. The essay at the beginning of the book is awesome. *InSEXts isn't for the easily offended. Just throwing that out there.
