What if the DC Comics female heroes were all fighting in World War II as a team called the Bombshells? From DC Comics Bombshells with Special Guest Author & Historian Tim Hanley (Not All Supermen: Sexism, Toxic Masculinity, and the Complex History of Su Dear Watchers: an omniversal comic book podcast

We journey back to WWII (with a brief detour to the 1980s) on this week's episode as DC's female superheroes, including Kate Kane's Batwoman, Wonder Woman, Mera, Supergirl, Stargirl, Zatanna and more form the Nazi fighting super team, The Bombshells. We are joined by special guest author & historian Tim Hanley (Not All Supermen: Sexism, Toxic Masculinity, and the Complex History of Superheroes) to discuss the comic con-based backstory for this line, Marguerite Bennett's sharp storytelling, the striking art by Margueurite Sauvage, Laura Braga and others plus why the time is right for a Bombshells rival. But first, we stop off in the 1980s to see Wonder Woman and DC's best known (and not so known) super heroines battle The Adjudicator, a giant alien with disco balls for eyes (!!!) in Paul Levitz, Roy Thomas and Gene Colan's pre-event event series.
