## Description

The incredibly popular DC Collectibles line is brought to life in these stories that reimagine the course of history! As Word War II rages across Europe, the Allied forces issue a call to arms for the greatest heroines the world has ever known: THE BOMBSHELLS! KATE KANE, the all-American Batwoman; Diana Of Themyscira, warrior Princess of the desertcarts; Kara Starikov and Kortni Duginovna, defenders of Mother Russia; and MERA, royal daughter of the legendary Atlantis! With aid from their allies at home and abroad, these mighty women will turn the tide of war and defend those inviolable rights of Truth, Justice and Freedom. From writer Marguerite Bennett ( Batgirl , Earth 2: World’s End ) and featuring artists including Marguerite Sauvage ( Hinterkind ), Laura Braga ( Witchblade ), Bilquis Evely ( Doc Savage ), Mirka Andolfo ( Chaos ) and Ming Doyle ( Constantine: The Hellblazer ) comes DC Comics: Bombshells Vol. 1: Enlisted . Collects DC Comics: Bombshells #1-6.

Review: Beautifully illustrated and great fun - Beautifully illustrated and great fun, this is as simple as you think - reimagined DC women taking on the Nazi regime. Nothing that says that male heroes and superhumans don't exist in this Elseworlds universe, simply the focus is on a set of heroic tough-as-nails women soldiers, pilots and spies. This book is the set-up for the greater story arc so isn't super-exciting (gets more exciting in the next TP), but focuses more on the intricacies of the Bombshell world, and introduces the characters. This all started off after Ant Lucia's Bombshell pin-up poster and figurine series sales went through the roof (Bombshells are DC women rendered in 1930s pin-up or strong-woman propaganda poster artwork), and the subsequent cash-in comic writing project was luckily given to the brilliant Marguerite Bennett (who recently did amazing writing for Catwoman and Batman Eternal), so although this comic could have been a flimsy cheesecakey stunt by DC, it turned out to be a great idea. The ladies are all totally badass and don't sacrifice their standard DC personas one bit (e.g. Kate Kane is still with Maggie). I'm not the biggest fan of Marguerite Sauvage's artwork, but it worked nicely here, and of course the covers by Ant Lucia are breathtaking. I'd recommend this for teens/girls as well as adult readers since it's got very positive role models and a compelling (albeit fantasy) historical narrative.
Review: Ottimo inizio - Disegni stupendi e personaggi molto interessanti. Veramente una splendida AU!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Wechselhafter, klischeebeladener Comic mit einigen Anachronismen
*by E***A on 25 June 2016*

Das Cover war so vielversprechend, die Grundanlage wirklich spannend und eine Reihe, die den Fokus komplett auf DCs weibliche Helden legt eine tolle Idee - aber leider ist die Umsetzung nur mittelmäßig. Dass in einer Geschichte, die zu Beginn des zweiten Weltkriegs spielt, zahlreiche Anachronismen zu verorten sind, fällt zwar auf, finde ich aber für einen Comic zunächt nicht so dramatisch. Etwas ärgerlicher wird es schon, wenn sehr schlicht hinsichtlich der Rolle der Nationalitäten gearbeitet wird: die Darstellung Russlands/der Russen im Comic als seelenloser, alles umschlingender Moloch liest sich in bester 80er-Jahre-Kalter-Krieg-Rhetorik, ein paar britische Soldaten müssen von Wonder Woman zur Räson gebracht werden, als sie Wehrmachtssoldaten exekutieren wollen, aber die USA erstrahlen dann im heroischen Licht positiver Intentionen - und ich dachte, Comics wären seit 'Red Son' etwas weiter, was das angeht. Aber auch das ist letzlich noch nicht das Hauptproblem, weshalb ich den Comic nur bedingt weiterempfehlen würde: Mich störte vor allem, dass der Comic nicht wirklich weiß, wo die Reise hingehen soll aufgrund seiner vielen unterschiedlichen Charaktere. Partiell werden komische Anleihen genommen - v.a. und erwartbar - bei Harley Quinn, die im Gegensatz zu Harley's eigener Reihe aber leider nicht pointiert genug sind, um wirklich lustig zu sein, aber zu banal um einen psychotischen Charakter ernsthaft zu porträtieren. Daneben gibt es dann ein bisschen Mysterie-Horror mit Zatanna und Jokers Tochter (warum auch immer), etwas klassischen Superhelden-Comic um dann wiederum zum Drama kitschiger Liebesfilme vor Kriegskulissen zu wechseln. Positiv könnte man das als abwechslungsreich bezeichnen, ich fand es eher unstet und nervig. Sehr wechselhaft ist im Übrigen auch das Art-Work, das sich nicht von Heft zu Heft sondern entlang der jeweils poträtierten Charaktere ändert. Während teilweise bei Wonder Woman und Batwoman das Versprechen des Covers mit tollen, z.B. im Pin-Up-Stil angelegten, Bildern eingelöst wird, sind weite Teile des Comics leider optisch nur Durchschnittsware, was vor allem für die Szenen mit Supergirl und Mera gilt. Insgesamt fand ich den Paperback-Trade daher eher ernüchternd. Er ist nicht wirklich schlecht, Superheldinnen, die in unterschiedlichen Rollen den Kampf gegen Nazi-Deutschland aufnehmen, sind sicherlich ein toller Aufhänger, aber die Umsetzung ist wie oben geschildert leider nur bedingt gelungen. Von daher sollte man hier vielleicht tatsächlich erstmal in die Kindle-Lesprobe schauen, ob einem die 'Bombshells' zusagen.
