On an Allied base at sea, Amanda Waller and Barda Free gather the Bombshells-Wonder Woman, Aquawoman, Supergirl and Stargirl, and their latest additions. Amanda warns them that the coming war is one of magic and steel, and that the Bombshells must rise and risk everything they know and love to fight this cruelty of the world.
As a stage setting chapter and a bit of closure for the arc at hand, Bombshells does what it needs to do in the story department, smartly choosing which characters to expend focus on and which to just touch upon and have a little fun with. What helps to elevate it is Sanapo's artwork. I've enjoyed the little I've seen of her work before but she fits in perfectly here and has me hopeful that she's going to be a regular in the roster of artists for the series. Particularly since she has the harder job here of handling the cast as a whole and all their respective locations. It also doesn't hurt that she has Wendy Broome doing the coloring here as she's definitely set the tone for the look of the series. The book captures all of them extremely well and made me fall in love with the Bombshells all over again. Great stuff in general, fantastic artwork and a real sense of style and cool. Read Full Review
