The DC Bombshells line of statues is great, but there's only the barest hint of a story behind those pinup-inspired character revamps. Somehow, writer Marguerite Bennett has been able to use that minimal source material as the foundation for a wildly entertaining comic that gives the DCU a fun, WWII-era makeover. The second issue doesn't pack quite the visual punch of the first, but this series is really making the most of ts concept.
Bennett continues her rotating approach to the story in these three chapters. Right now the book is still very much concerned with providing origins for the various heroines before bringing them together as a group.
