DC Bombshells is one of the strangest superhero success stories of the last few years. A comic series based on a line of statues imagining the women of DC Comics as 1940s pin-ups didn’t sound like an especially promising concept, but luckily the title had a creative team that valued character development and dynamic storytelling while still delighting in the inherent sexuality of the designs. Writer Marguerite Bennett gave the book a playful tone and made queer relationships a major part of the narrative. She took advantage of the book’s World War II setting to tell more substantial stories rooted in historical events, and that continues in the new Bombshells: United series, which brings back the team to tackle a domestic problem: the internment of Japanese citizens by the U.S. government. Bennett is reimagining Wonder Girls Donna Troy and Cassie Sandsmark as second-generation Japanese-Americans whose families are being held in camps, and they’ll be joining forces with Wonder Woman to fight Executive Order 9066.
