DC Comics: Bombshells #3
This third volume of the DC Comics: Bombshells series continues the alternate-history saga set during World War II, where iconic female heroes and villains are reimagined as pin-up-style fighters. In 'Uprising,' the team—including Harleen Quinzel, Pamela Ysley, and Zatanna—faces escalating threats as they battle supernatural forces and Axis powers, while Contessa Selina DiGatti navigates her own dangerous loyalties. Collecting issues from the 2017 series, this trade paperback deepens the character-driven drama and action of the Bombshells universe.
In "Batgirls Swing Again!", the heroines defend the Berlin ghetto from Nazi forces while tensions rise as the Joker's Daughter slips into their ranks. Young Miriam Batzel awakens to her destiny as Miri Marvel, her powers drawn from the strength of the women of the Hebrew scriptures. Written by Marguerite Bennett and brought to life by Sandy Jarrell’s art, Mirka Andolfo’s inks, and vibrant colors by Kelly Fitzpatrick and Wendy Broome, this 2017 issue features a cover by Ant Lucia.
In the aftermath of the Battle of Britain, Mera finds unexpected refuge with Arthur Curry, a quiet lighthouse keeper with a hidden past, as they both navigate the quiet wreckage of war. Meanwhile, Zatanna struggles to reclaim her sense of self, and Harley Quinn opens up to Poison Ivy about a painful chapter she’s tried to forget.
In "Ghost Stories," Mera and Arthur find fleeting peace in a quiet moment together—until the sudden arrival of Cardinal Hagen shatters their calm. As tensions rise in Atlantis, Zatanna offers quiet comfort to a wary Raven, while Kate reunites with Renee after years apart, their past lingering in the space between them.
In "War Stories," the heroines regroup in a war-torn Berlin, their resolve tested by the shifting tides of conflict. Meanwhile, Mera and Arthur return to Atlantis to confront a shocking betrayal—Mera’s sister Hila has murdered Nereus and seized the throne.
In "Uprising [Part One]," the heroines stand defiant in the Berlin ghetto, shielding civilians from the Nazi threat as tensions rise. But danger hides in their midst—Joker's Daughter has slipped into their ranks. When young Miriam Batzel is transformed into Miri Marvel by the legacy of the women of the Hebrew scriptures, her newfound powers become a beacon in the fight for survival.
In "Uprising Part 2" from DC Comics: Bombshells #3, Mera and her allies stand firm as Atlantis rises above the waves, thwarting her sister Siren’s bid for control. With Berlin behind them and the Joker’s Daughter in their wake, the heroines seek shelter in the submerged city—only to find that peace is far from guaranteed.
