A very pleasant surprise. Something wholly unique that kept my interest throughout.

More than anything, I love pissin’ off the kinds of people that would keep other people down. 

It was a fun ride, so to speak. 

And we need as many stories about rebellion now as we can.

This was pretty darn entertaining. An Elseworld-style title, utopian-for-some/dystopian-for-most future where Luthor runs the last remaining city.

Written with so very much love. Familia and beloved characters with clever twists, badass women in outfits that they can actually fight in and very little exploitation of sexuality.

Kara Gordon makes a great protagonist, naive and hopeful.
Plus the final surprise on the last two pages makes everything perfect.

Read as single issues. This series is a lot of fun. Dystopian superhero biker gang awesomeness. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did, especially the last two issues which were just freaking awesome.

I like what they are doing, but this collection was too brief. It felt more like a prologue than a proper story.

This was ridiculous, and I (mostly) loved it. I'm just not sure why living in a dystopia means women can't have full-length shirts.

I quite enjoyed this. It feels like a less complex version of Bitch Planet with AU versions of DC characters.

In a world where Lex Luthor has programmed Gotham (the whole world?) into compliance, Natasha Irons has created a place for rebels who are fighting back. In an interesting twist, it was Jim Gordon that found the Kryptonian and adopted her as his own. The series starts when Lex's men (including Batsy) come to take her in because she's not under Lex's control. She escapes and meets the women of the Gotham City Garage.

Big Barda *happy sigh*. I'm in love with her every time I see her. She's gorgeous and strong and fierce and amazing. There's also Natasha Irons, who appears very early on so already this book is representing black women better than DC Bombshells ever did. Harley pops up and I'm sad that she's once again tied to the Joker. I like her stories best when they have her realize she's so much better off without him. Babs pops up, as well and Jason Todd.

It's a great start. I like the art, the premise is interesting and I'm excited to see where it goes from here.
