If you’re a comic shop regular, chances are you’ve seen DC’s Bombshell statue line. Putting a retro spin on DC’s leading ladies, the line has proven to be a big hit both commercially and aesthetically, so much so that the designs have now translated into comic form. DC Comics Bombshells takes the brand’s 40’s inspired look and brings it to fashionable life, using World War II as a backdrop for the book’s various exploits. While not an entirely seamless experience, it’s one that ultimately provides a fresh new look for some familiar faces.
Bombshells was initially released as a line of character specific digital shorts, the first three of which—Batwoman, Wonder Woman and Supergirl—are combined here. Said structure makes for an episodic print debut, something that ultimately works for and against the read. On the one hand, the three shorts are able to establish a consistent tone, the book’s historical setting used to convincing and at times inspiring effect. On the other, the three separate installments don’t really have anything to do with each other, and there’s nothing to any of them that will suggest that will change down the road. If you’re just looking for some creative, elseworld style snapshots these fit the bill, but anything more cohesive isn’t there yet.
