    Supergirl Comic Box Commentary - Anj Dec 14, 2015

    All these pages are by Jarrell and everyone is just fresh, strong, and beautiful. The art sings here, working with the words. So I continue to love this book. It is a guilty pleasure, an Elseworlds based on statues of scantily clad characters. But Bennett brings so much more to the table. This is a nice romp. Read Full Review

    The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge Aug 29, 2015

    DC Comics Bombshells adds a new area of interest and brings another male character into the property, one that I'm glad to see in this time period as it's something new and different for him. With the bombshells themselves, Zatanna comes across well and leaves me wanting more while the Joker's Daughter hits some good notes too, though she just feels a little off and a little less defined at this point. Which isn't a surprise, but after the first few issues have done so much to establish characters firmly and quickly it just feels a little more noticeable. Naifeh's inclusion in the series with his artwork is pretty welcome with what he does here and if he's part of the overall rotation of the book it'll definitely be something to look forward to each time, especially as each installment brings an artist more comfort in the material and its design itself.

    Dark Knight News - Eric Joseph Dec 11, 2015

    I strongly recommend this to anyone looking for a great alternate universe book that's more radically different than the stuff you can find even in anEarth 2comic. It may be just me, but I'm getting the impression that all paths will soon converge in a huge way, so jump aboard the ride and strap yourself in. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Elena Carrillo Dec 9, 2015

    It's nice to see that characters like Mera and Big Barda aren't just one-and-done in this world. There are a lot of undercurrents at play in the story, which is chock-full of possibility, but everything feels a little bogged down in the art department at the moment. While I applaud DC's use of predominantly female artists to work on this series, it really needs a regular team to help pull all of its various pieces together in a way that makes more aesthetic sense. Reading this almost feels like trying to watch a TV show where they change up the actors every week. This book is the poster child for a recent social media argument about the disproportionate attention on writers of comic books. The art matters on so many levels even if many of them are subliminal to most readers. Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - Stella Bowman Dec 11, 2015

    There is a lot going on in this issue, but the majority of it is treated well, and Im hoping that the tempo remains high. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Eric Shea Sep 6, 2015

    While I dig the characters involved in this issue and the change of scenery, this chapter just doesn't do much to really move the story forward and that is made abundantly clear with all the filler in this book.  There is promise to this particular story, but it still lies in the future.  Luckily the art was great and it had a decent cliffhanger, but besides for that and the new characters...... not much goes on here.
