About this Collection

This volume concludes the alternate-history saga of the DC Bombshells, reimagining iconic heroines in a World War II-era setting. As the war reaches its climax, Harleen Quinzel and Pamela Ysley—better known as Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy—face their greatest challenge yet, confronting the forces of illusion and betrayal that threaten to tear their world apart. Collecting issues from the 2017 series, this trade paperback wraps up the epic storylines of these fan-favorite characters with action, heart, and a touch of noir-inspired art.

In "All Good Things," Lois Lane and the Reaper are unexpectedly united by a plane crash, joining Raven’s mission in war-torn Russia. As Ivy harnesses her botanical gifts to feed the starving people of Leningrad, Lois shares intelligence about Killer Frost’s next move—while Supergirl’s fate takes a chilling turn under Hugo Strange’s control, leading to the creation of a startling new clone: Power Girl. Written by Marguerite Bennett and illustrated by Mirka Andolfo, Richard Ortiz, and Carmen Carnero, with colors by Wendy Broome, J. Nanjan, and Sandra Molina, and lettering by Wes Abbott, the issue’s cover by Ant Lucia captures the tension of a world on the edge.
