unladylike's review against another edition

Remember how I'm frequently disappointed in the writing of Marguerite Bennett? And how she's known by some to just be good at setting up the stage for a story and then fizzling out as the script goes on? Well, somehow, by the end of Vol. 4 of the gorgeous and queer-centric DC Bombshells series, she almost had me in tears with startlingly beautiful scenes and dialogue. It's hard to know which mega-babe in this book to gush about/crush on the most, but now I want the DCAU feature film, and all the tumblr fan art, and, and.

This series is so wonderful, so much woman-power and gay relationships. It has also renewed my childhood love of Hawk Girl; she is even more badass now than ever!

This one threatened to lose me with the additions of superheroes with whom I was unfamiliar (ahem Vixen, Cheetah), but I caught up and held on tight and the story was again fantastic.

Glad I kept up with this series, even though the plot threads and character count do get to be a lot.
snoozingbookworm's review against another edition
The storyline in this one was harder to follow, although the message was clear and to the point when it had to come across.
Despite the difficulty in following along and the overall lack of actually dealing with Nazi scum that seemed to turn up and grow scales all over the place, this volume was quite rich in its exploration of conquest and memory. I would have appreciated it if the extraterrestrial element hadn’t gotten in the middle of the other themes. Would have made the narrative much simpler and more poignant.
The scene with Kara and Diana was probably my favourite, though and I have to cope that I am curious about how Kate will end up now.

I'm really up and down on this series. Its heart is very much in the right place but the plot is scattershot and the ever expanding cast of characters makes it hard to follow who is who - and who is loyal to who. It doesn't help that some of the character designs are very similar - so many red heads! The art is also patchy - I love Marguerite Sauvage's work but I really can't stand how Mirka Andolfo does faces.
